THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED IN 39 YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS. NO MARKS OR HANDLING LINES, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY LINES
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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE ALBUMS PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH. CLEARLY THE FEW PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WHICH HAS A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS WHICH WAS ALSO IN UNWORN CONDITION
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE DECCA FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.
SIDE ONE HAS JUST THE OCCASIONAL BIT OF LIGHT STATIC HEARD IN THE RUN IN GROOVE AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. SIDE TWO HAS NONE APART FROM A SPECK IN THE RUN IN.
THERE ARE NO DUST POPS TO BE HEARD ON EITHER SIDE.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR SIDE ONE AND MINT MINUS FOR SIDE TWO
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE JUST MAGNIFICENT. TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN, NO RUBBING TO THE DELICATE COLOURS WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND INCREDIBLY JUST FOUR REALLY MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN MINT CONDITION, WITH NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE WHITE SURFACE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH A COUPLE OF DIMPLES ON THE FLAT SURFACE.
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED INCLUDING THE TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND INCREDIBLY NOT ONE THUMB NAIL NICK TO EITHER SIDE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT , UNCREASED, AND UNMARKED CONDITION,
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
