THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDE IS VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL APART FROM ONE TINY CHIP BY THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL . THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN, THERE ARE JUST 4-5 VERY VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY CLEAN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS SUPERB WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY LIGHT AND NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINES VISIBLE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY LINES AND SOME MORE HANDLING LINES VISIBLE

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 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 BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.

SIDE ONE DOES HAVE SOME VERY LOW LYING STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD DURING THE QUIETEST MOMENTS, BUT I HEAR EVERYTHING AS I SIT NO MORE THAN 18 INCHES AWAY FROM THE SPEAKERS WHILST TYPING THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE AND THE NOISE IS VIRTUALLY UNHEARD

SIDE 2 PERFORMS SUPERBLY AND THERE IS VIRTUALLY NONE OF THAT STATIC LIKE NOISE

THERE ARE A FEW TINY DUST POPS AND LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

SIDE ONE PLAYS TO AN EXCELLENT PLUS STANDARD, WHILST SIDE 2 PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT STANDARD

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE  SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THIS SLEEVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE RING WEAR DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE CARD USED. THIS ONE HAS ONLY THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, AND ONLY THEN WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.

THERE ARE SOME SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND ONE TINY LITTLE THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE LAMINATE STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN.

THREE OF THE FOUR CORNERS SHOW RUBBING

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE LIGHTEST SPECKS OF SHELF WEAR WITH JUST A FEW WHITE CHIPS SHOWING MAINLY ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST A FEW LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT, AGAIN JUST A FEW LITTLE LAMINATE LINES

THE ORIGINAL ' ELECTRONIC SOUND' INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE AGEING TO THE SURFACE

 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT

 

 

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT

GARRY
