THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN AVENUE LABELS ARE  RICH AND VIBRANT. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO

 

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 FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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

THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS SOME EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHICH IS EVIDENT AT THE VERY START OF SIDE ONE FOR 20 SECONDS OR SO, AND AGAIN AT THE START OF SIDE THREE FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE OR SO

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

NO AUDIBLE STATIC AND SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD JUST A FEW INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE, OTHER THAN AT THE START OF SIDES ONE AND THREE IT IS IMMACULATE

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOUR SELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. 

THE TOP EDGES HAVE SOME SCUFFING AND RUBBING ALONG THE SURFACES AND A LITTLE MORE AT THE CORNERS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ONLY HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE SURFACE AND THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE RUB AT THE CORNERS ON BOTH SURFACES

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LITTLE SCUFFS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE  RAZOR SHARP  

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS PRISTINE AS THE FRONT. 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS. 

THE TWO WHITE  INNER SLEEVES ARE FREE FROM SPLITS OR CREASES, AND ONLY SHOW A LITTLE EDGE AGEING
