THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUEL CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT. OFFERING THE VINYL UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES NOT REVEAL ANYTHING EITHER, THIS IS A PRISTINE MINT VINYL
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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISS-DESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS,
NO STATIC AND NO DUST POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION MINT
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
HOWARDS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL A BEAUTIFULLY RICH GREEN COLOUR. THE SLEEVE IS STILL PRINTED WITH THE ORIGINAL CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE SPINE ( CAS 1052) AND HAS THE CH22 STICKER ON THE REAR IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES AND NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHICH IS ALSO A REAL RARITY ON THIS SLEEVE. JUST THE TINIEST PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, NO LINES ON ANY OF THE EDGES
WHAT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING IS THAT THERE IS NO RINGWEAR, AND NOT EVEN A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE UNRUBBED PAIR OF INNER PANELS
A REALLY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
