THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE AND IS ABSOLUTELY MINT.  THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHINGTO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY FROM START TO FINISH. FROM THE SILENCE BEFORE THE OPENING TRACK TO THE FINAL RUN OUT THE ALBUM PRODUCES THE CLEANEST AUDIO. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST EXCEPTIONAL, AGAIN HEARD AT ITS BEST IN THE QUIETER MOMENTS.

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERATINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

IN FACT THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS AN INCREDIBLE UNPLAYED ( MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY MAKES IT ONE PLAY)

I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHOUGH AS MINT!!!

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE THAT WAS HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM DAY ONE!

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE SLEEVES THAT I HAVE EXAMINED ONLY TO REJECT THEM FOR CREASE LINES AND SERIOUS RING WEAR. ON THIS SLEEVE THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, JUST A TINY LITTLE SLIVER OF WHITE ON THE OPENING EDGE NEAR THE BOTTOM.

NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION.

THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE MINUSCULE ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WITH ONLY A TINY PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD WISH TO FIND. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND HAS NOT EVEN ONE THUMB TO FINGER SQUASH MARK. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PERFECT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE 100% LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING, SCRAPING OR SCRATCHES, PRISTINE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITON AS THE FRONT, SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS. 

THE ORIGINAL GLOSSY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT, NO CREASES OR MARKS

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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