THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THERE ARE 5-6 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS BEEN LITTLE PLAYED OVER THE YEARS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDERINTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME SWIRLY WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE TINY HANDLING LINES
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH IN ORDER TO ALLOW POTENTIAL BIDDERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND THERE ARE NO SERIOUS CLICKS OR SEVERE CRACKLING EITHER
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THE QUIETEST SPOTS, LIKE THE LINKING GROOVES IS SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND VINYL NOISE (STATIC LIKE). THIS I CAN ONLY HEAR AS I SIT AND TYPETHIS OUT AND I SIT AROUND 18 INCHES FROM THESPEAKERS. MOVING TO A NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE AND I CAN ONLY HEAR IT ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. THE VULNERABLE 'MICHELLE' HAS A LITTLE MORE NOISE THAN THE REST OF THE LP, AND IS THE ONLY TRACK I WOULD SAY SUFFERS A LITTLE BECAUSE OF IT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT CONDITION
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL HAS A VERY STRONG SHEEN TO IT
THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE. THERE ARE 6 SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, 1 NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND 3 NEAR INVISIBLE ONES NEAR THE TOP EDGE, ALSO 2 THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS ONLY A TINY BIT OF SHELF WEAR IN THE LEFT CORNER, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS NO WEAR WHATSOEVER
THE SPINE IS IN TOP CONDITION. A COUPLE OF SEMI FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, BUT NOTHING SEVERE. THE LAMINATE IS ALL INTACT, AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP WAS PLUCKED FROM THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY VERY RARE. AS MOST ARE HEAVILY SOILED. THIS ONE JUST HAS SOME LIGHT HANDLING NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACES AT ALL
THE ORIGINAL GREASEPROOF PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION, A LITTLE CREASED IN THE CORNERS BUT REALLY NICE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
