THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE  BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LITTLE FACTORY OVERSPILL ON SIDE TWO ON ONE HALF. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE HARVEST LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE . THERE ARE 8-10 SPIDER LINES VISIBLE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTER, JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHTLY DULL PATCHES. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING LINES. NONE THAT YOU CAN RUN A FINGERNAIL THROUGH THOUGH

 

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 BOTH LP'S FROM START TO FINISH AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID.

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

SO FIRST OF ALL LETS STATE THAT THIS IS A VINYL THAT HAS HAD PLAY AND IS NOT MINT. THE FINE HAIRLINES COULD BE OFF PUTTING, BUT THATS WHY I RECORD EVERYTHING SO THERE CAN BE NO ' LUCK OF THE DRAW'. WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET!

THE REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.

THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. SO DESPITE SOME SURFACE LINES THIS ALBUM HAS SUFFERED NO GROOVE WEAR AT ALL, AND STILL PLAYS WITH A SUPERB CRISP CLEAR CLARITY

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, JUST SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WHICH IS ONLY AUDIBLE IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS QUITE STUNNING. A HIGHLY POLISHED LAMINATED SURFACE THAT REALLY GLEAMS. NO LAMINATE LIFT OR FLAKE ANYWHERE.NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHICH OFTEN BLIGHT THIS SLEEVE

THERE ARE SIX SMALL LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE AMAZING. THE TOP LAMINATED EDGE IS JUST MINT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT AND NO HINT OF COLOUR RUB ANYWHERE. THE BOTTOM UNLAMINATED EDGE ONLY HAS A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB TO THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ONCE AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE. NO BLEMISHES ANYWHERE , WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM TIP END.

THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL  WITH A FEW TINY BURRS ALONG THE EDGE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT, AGAIN A SUPERB LAMINATED SURFACE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT CONDITION INNER PANELS..

THE INNER SLEEVES IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. FLAT WITH BARELY A WRINKLE. UNSPLIT AND ONLY VERY LIGHTLY AGED

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
