THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. DEEP RICH BLUE SURFACE, RUB FREE AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS NO MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE. A TRULY SUPERB FIRST PRESS VINYL
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, BECAUSE 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
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.THIS SHOWS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
I HAVE TO SAY THAT I DIDN T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND THATS ALL, IT REALLY PLAYS TO PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC / DUST TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NONE LAMINATED REAR SURFACE, MOORE AND MATTHES SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE IS SOME LIGHT BROWNING TO THE WHITE CORNERS ALONG THE EDGES, AND ABOUT NINE SMALL LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE. A FURTHER TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND FOUR THUMB LINES ON THE SURFACE. ONE UNDER THE TOP EDGE, TWO NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, AND ONE TINY ONE JUST ABOVE THE LEFT EYEBROW
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE WAFER THIN AND BOTH LAMINATED. THE TOP ONE IS FULLY COLOURED ALL THE WAY ACROSS, THE BOTTOM ONE JUST HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE
THE REAR NON LAMINATED SURFACE SHOW SOME LIGHT AGEING AND HANDLING IN SMALL PATCHES BUT HAS REMAINED VERY WHITE DESPITE THIS
THE BLUE EDGED DECCA 1969 INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, NO CORNER CREASES, AND ONLY NATURAL GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
