EX SLEEVE
FULLY SIGNED ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE
What I Know about this album: I have had posession of this album for about 15years. A friend gave it to me as he knew I was a fan. He bought a massive Abba collection form a man who was an absolute fanatical Abba supporter. This man had everything you could imagine in his collection from signed memorabilia to records from just about every country. Sadly he fell on hard times and was forced to sell his collection, which was where my friend came in
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH CLEARLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE CLEAN
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL LIGHT LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND HERE AND THERE AND A FEW LITTLE TICS RANDOMLY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH EX
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
Starting with the signatures. These are completed in Biro. In different colours which I suspect means that they were obtained at different times. There is also a fifth signature in the top right corner and I must confess I do not who this one belongs to. Possibly one of the band?
The sleeve has signes of being toted around venues as the edges are a little worn and ther are some pressure lines in them, which would make sense if the signatures were obtained at different times
The front surface is still rich and vibrant and the signatures are sharp and clear
the edges and spine show light wear with the spine slightly more
The rear is similar to the front
The inner sleeve is creased and has some seam splits
