IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM YOU WILL KNOW ONE THING, THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A COPY OF THIS WITH A SLEEVE THAT IS PURE WHITE!!!
BUT LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE HERE IS A COPY THAT IS STILL SHRINKWRAPPED FROM NEW
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL BLUE BASE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND NO MARKS OR STAINS TO BE SEEN, AND IT STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS SO PERFECT THAT IT STILL HAS MANY SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL CLINGING TO IT FROM THE FACTORY PRESS. ALL OF WHICH WOULD HAVE FALLEN AWAY IF THIS ALBUM HAD BEEN PLAYED. THERE IS ONE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM HAS HAD JUST THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY FROM NEW.
FINALLY ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND LIKE THE BASE COLOUR REMAINS UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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, ALLOWING ANY POTENTIAL BUYER TO HEAR EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE RUN IN GROOVE AND THE LINKING GROOVES AS WELL AS THE INCREDIBLE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIIDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND THIS IS S SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. CRISP AND CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD PERFECTLY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, JUST THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE IN SOME OF THE QUITETEST MOMENTS, PERHAPS A SHADE MORE RIGHT AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, AND ALSO A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS GREAT ALBUM FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
I HAVE ALREADY INDICATED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE JUST HOW IMPOSSIBLE THIS IS TO FIND IN A PURE WHITE STATE.
HERE IS A SHRINK WRAPPED SLEEVE, THAT HAS ONLY HAD THE OPENING EDGE SPLIT TO ENABLE THE ALBUM TO BE REMOVED. THUS THE SHRINK HAS JUST MOVED BACK NO MORE THAN A HALF INCH INTO THE SLEEVE
SO I WILL EXPLAIN THE CONDITION AS I SEE IT THROUGH THE SHRINKWRAP
THE FRONT SURFACE IS PURE WHITE, EVEN THE TINY EXPOSED BIT HAS NO MORE THAN A VERY LIGHT BIT OF HANDLING, CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO DHANGE THE COLOUR OF THE SLEEVE, SO IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THE SLEEVE IS PURE WHITE!
THERE IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
I HAVE REMOVED THE RECCORD AND PLACED IT INSIDE A NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE, AND HAVE TRIMMED DOWN A CARD STIFFNER AND PLACED THIS INSIDE THE SLEEVE TO KEEP THE SLEEVE IN A STAIGHT CONDITION AS THE SHRINK HAS A TENDANCY TO PULL ON THE EDGES.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION AND ALSO WORTH MENTIONING IS THE FACT THAT THIS 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING ALONG THE TOP EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH NO EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN PERHAPS ONEC OR TWICE
FINALLY THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT.I DID NOTICE A COUPLE OF MINISCULE YELLOWISH DOTS UNDER THE SHRINK NEAR THE OPENING EDGE AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER
A STUNNING SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
