THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT TAN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAD TO REALLY LOOK CLOSE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AT ALL, BUT DID SPOT A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL LINES WHEN I ANGLED THE LABEL INTO THE INTENSE ILLUMINATION OF A SPOTLIGHT, AND EVEN THEN I HAD TO PLAY AROUND TO SPOT THEM. THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE 1972
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW VERY FINE HANDLING LINES, AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES, PLUS A SMALL CLUSTER OF DULL SPOTS NO BIGGER THAN A FINGER NAIL, AND THESE ARE NON SOUNDING
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
A FANTASTIC COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL ' TINSLEY ROBOR' UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WHICH IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES, NO LIGHT CREASES, AND JUST TWO MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
AMAZINGLY NO LOSS OF ANY OF THE COLOUR AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PRESENT, WITH JUST ONE TINY WHITE SPECK SHOWING NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER, PLUS THE TWO TIP ENDS ARE VERY LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW MORE WHITE FLECKS SHOWING
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE WITH THE ONLY SPECK OF RUBBING SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM TIP. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAL NICK ON THE BACK EDGE AT THE BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THERE IS A SMALL CLUSTER OF DOT LIKE IMPRESSIONS VISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT. THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN MADE BY A BALL PENN PRESSING ONTO PAPER COVERING THE SLEEVE AT SOME POINT.
OTHER THAN THIS, ONE SMALL LINE BY THE SPINE
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL BLUE LYRIC INNER AND IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
