THE LABELS
THE DEEP RED AND SILVER UNBOXED MONO LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 46 YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES . THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY OF A REALLY HARD TO LOCATE ALBUM (IN THIS MAGNIFICENT CONDITION)
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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 INCREDIBLE MONO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF GROOVEWEAR OR BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
IT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ON HIGH END EQUIPMENT. THERE IS THE BAREST TRACE OF WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS LIGHT STATIC IN SOME OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS, AND THIS IS LIMITED TO JUST A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES. MAYBE THE ODD LITTLE DUST POP, PERHAPS ONE OR TWO THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY.
THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT IN MY MIND ONE OF THE CLEANEST COPIES OF THIS I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS, AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS STUNNING VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.AND NO DEEP LINES EITHER
THERE ARE SOME TINY TINY LITTLE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ACTUALLY THEY ARE ONLY IN THE TINY WHITE BOARDER AND NOT ON THE GREY SURFACE.
THE GREY SURFACE NEAR THE SPINE HAS JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE TOP CORNER.
THERE ARE 3 ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THREE OR FOUR SMALL THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A FEW TINY ROUGH LINES WHERE THE LAMINATE HAS CRACKED.
THE SPINE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION. SOME LIGHT SQUASHING BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH THE ODD PATCH OD MINOR BURRING HERE AND THERE
THE REAR SURFACE WHICH DOES SHOW SOME LIGHT GRUBBINESS AND AGEING TO THE ONCE WHITE SURFACE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS PENNED THEIR INITIALS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TEXT WHICH IS ALL CLEAR AND LEGIBLE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AT ALL ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACES
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
