THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE ONE PLAY MINT ALBUM IN A TRULY MINT SLEEVE, HAVING BEEN HOUSED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER.A TRUE MINT EXAMPLE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
EVEN UNDER A SPOTLIGHT,THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE, WHICH CERTAINLY MEANS THAT THE LP WAS CAREFULLY PLACED ONTO A TURNTABLE IF INDEED IT WAS AT ALL
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT IS ABSOLUTELY MIRROR FINISH LIKE, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS THE DAY IT WAS FIRST PRESSED
WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN MAKE OUT JUST TWO WISP[Y HAIRLINES BUT NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT THIS LP HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN ONCE. IT IS QUITE SUPERB
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS BY FIND ING AND THEN HEARING THIS ONE PLAY / UNPLAYED LP. I HOPE THAT BY LISTENING TO THE EXCERPTS THAT I HAVE RECORDED YOU ALSO REALISE JUST HOW RARE A FIND THIS IS. THERE IS THE VERY ODD BIT OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC BUT THATS ABOUT IT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FIRST ISSUE FROM JAMES UPTON LIMITED
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL ONES THAT GATHER CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO JUST HOW CAREFULLY IT HAS BEEN HANDLED IF AT ALL
THE COLOURS ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM AMY SHELF WEAR AT ALL AND ARE 100% RICH AND VIBRANT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THIS AGAIN IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED COMPLETELY FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITON AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL HEAVY DUTY PLAIN RED CARD INNSER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE DELCATE SEAMS, JUST ONE TINY DING IN THE TOP CORNER.
THE INNER ALSO HAS THE FIRST PRESS THUMB NOTCH
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT !!!
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
