THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. SO IS THE BLACK TYPEFACE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO UNWORN, THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE ON THE LABEL, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS, IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 39 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO BE SEEN, NOT EVEN THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES. A PRISTINE DISC!!!!!!!
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS IN THE FIRM BELIEF 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
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 SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND OF COURSE ON ANY GENESIS ALBUM THERE ARE MANY SILENT PASSAGES.
THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NOT ONE SPECK OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE SINGLE SLEEVE .
THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE POWDERY SURFACE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE CREAM UNDER-SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, UNRUBBED AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO FOLDS OR BENDS.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND NOT EVEN A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP RIGHT AREA
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE EITHER. ALSO NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE SURFACE FULLY COLOURED. NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIP ENDS
THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST MINT. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLUE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE, EVEN TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS.
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.NOT EVEN A THUMB NAIL NICK ANYWHERE ALONG IT
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND PURE WHITE. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
