ELTON JOHN - BLUE MOVES

ONE PLAY - NEAR MINT  AUDIO

WITH A SUPERB MINT MINUS SLEEVE TO MATCH

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED 

THE VINYL

. BOTH DISCS GLEAM LIKE THEY ARE BRAND NEW. NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVENE UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AT WORST

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 SET FROM START TO FINISH. THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE DECIDED TO ADD TO THE AUCTIONS AND ALTHOUGH IT TAKES EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT, I BELIEVE IT'S WELL WORTH IT. IT HAS LONG BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A LOTTERY WHEN IT COMES TO RECORDS. SO MANY INEXPERIENCED SELLERS DESCRIBE RECORDS AS MINT, ONLY FOR THEM TO BE ANYTHING BUT, AND THIS IS A VALID ARGUMENT THAT BUYERS WILL LEVY AGAINST SELLERS. FAIR ENOUGH, BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ENTIRE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO BID. I HOPE YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD.

THE LP'S PLAY BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP'S THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS SET HAS RECEIVED, WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY BALANCED AND UNWORN STYLI.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE DURING THE PLAY

NO LOUD POPS AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

YOU MAY HEAR THE OCCASIONAL BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND A LITTLE MORE IN THE FIRST TRACK TO SIDE FOUR

THERE ARE NO ZERO DUST POPS, JUST 3-4 TINY STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FOUR SIDES

AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND PLAYS LIKE NEW

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT 

 PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND FULLY COLOURED. PRISTINE SURFACE AND INCREDIBLY ZERO LINES BY THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE TINY THUMB IMPRESSION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, NO BLEMISHES TO THE CORNER TIPS EITHER

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND NOT SQUASHED THE COLOUR IS NEAR PERFECT, WITH A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE SPECKS ON THE SURFACE

BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS

BOTH ROUND CORNERED CARD INNER SLEEVE ARE IN MINT CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
