THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. I CAN  MAKE OUT 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE RECORD

STUNNING GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF NON SOUNDING ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES VISIBLE ONLY

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 BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

THE VERY VULNERABLE 'TIL THERE WAS YOU' PERFORMS CORRECTLY

THE VINYL PLAYS CLEARLY AND CLEANLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.

THERE IS A VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES, AND LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD JUST ONE TINY LITTLE TIC DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP PLAYTHROUGH EXCELLENT PLUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS ALBUM FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE GLEAMS  LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES .

THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE COVER, AND NO RINGWEAR EITHER WHICH THIS SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM. THERE IS A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT

THERE ARE  THREE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL ON THIS FLIMSY COVER

THE TOP EDGE HAS HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH ONE TINY LITTLE DENT NEAR THE LEFT CORNER. BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN THE SAME UNRUBBED CONDITION WITH TWO TINY DENTS.

THE SPINE IS STILL FULLY LAMINATED. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL  SHARP WITH THREE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND A STILL VERY WHITE SURFACE. NOT BROWNED L;IKE MOST YOU WILL FIND, JUST A VERY VERY SHADOW OF NATURAL HANDLING

THE ORIGINAL EMI POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNCREASED CONDITION. NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT EITHER. A GREAT EXAMPLE.  JUST AGED AT THE EDGES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
