THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN JUST MAKE OUT THAT THERE IS ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF MINUTE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND A VERY VERY LIGHT DULLING IN PATCHES

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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE 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 THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

YOU MIGHT HEAR AN OCCASIONAL SPECK OF VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES AND I HEARD ONLY A VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC 

NO MORE THAN TWO MINUSCULE AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY-THROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAY-THROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WITH EMBOSSED LETTERING IN THE MIDDLE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL JET BLACK COLOURING. THERE IS THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT, AND THE CORNER TIPS SHOW A LITTLE RUBBING

THERE ARE THREE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE 99% OF THE BLACK SURFACE INTACT WITH JUST A LITTLE SLIVER OF UNDERCARD SHOWING ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND A SMALLER SPECK ON THE BOTTOM LEFT

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL SCUFFS TO THE LEADING EDGES

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY STRAIGHT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ON EACH EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. HAS FIVE SPINE PRESSURE LINES, AND A TINY SPECK OF BLACK MISSING BY THE OPENING EDGE

THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS THE TINIEST PIN HOLE SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND PNE BOTTOM CORNER CREASE LINE

 I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+

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