THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  ROUGH TEXTURED  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE ORANGE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSSANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND UNRUBBED SIDES

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEAL JUST 2-3 TINY  SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY INDICATING THE VINYL HAS ONLY HAD A FEW VERY CAREFUL PLAYS SINCE 1964

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FORM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES. I CAN'T SAY I HAVE SEEN A BETTER COPY

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH AN UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OTHER THAN A REALLY TINY  LOW LEVEL SPECK RIGHT AT THE END OF THE LAST TRACK SIDE TWO

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO VINYL NOISE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

CORRECT VERY FIRST PRESS SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE

NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WITH FLIPBACKS AND THE ALL IMPORTANT PASTE ON LYRIC SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES, OR BENDS, OR DENTS, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES WHATSOEVER

THERE IS ALSO NO RECORD SHAPE OR ANY RING WEAR.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PRISTINE AND UNWORN. A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED AND THERE IS NO PEEL OR FLAKE,AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE IMMACULATE

THE OPENING EDGE IS  SHARP ALL THE WAY DOWN

THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL PERFECT AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THEM.THE PASTE OVER LYRIC SURFACE IS PERFECTLY WHITE AND NONE OF THE TYPEFACE HAS RUBBED

CLEARLY THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN WELL PROTECTED SINCE NEW

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

 

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