THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE MERCURY LABELS ARE IN MINT!!! CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS PRISTINE AND RUNS FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE ARE ONLY 2 TINY SPIDER LINES VISIBLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS SPOTLESS. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS , AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW 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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE BAREST TRACE OF OCCASIONAL STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE STATIC TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS. NOR IS THERE ANY HEAVY CREASING OR DEEP LONG CREASE LINES. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SCRATCH LINES VISIBLE ONLY WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT
THE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NO RUBBING, NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE.
THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE PALE BLUE SURFACE RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST THE RIGHT TIP ENDS SHOWING A TINY SPECK OF RUB. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A FEW MORE WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE THE COLOUR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A SMALL SPECK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM TIP AND A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE FLECKS ON THE LEADING EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS VINYL HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL THESE YEARS
THE THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. A TINY SHADOW OF RING WEAR JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT, WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER WRINKLES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
