THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAVE USED A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT ONE TINY SPIDER LINE ON ONE SIDE OF THE LABEL. THERE ARE STILL RESIDUAL SHARDS OF FACTORY PRESS VINYL STUCK AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS VERY GLOSSY AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, ONE SMALL NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON TRACK THREE SIDE ONE, AND A FEW NON SOUNDING SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL / ULTRA FINE LINES ON SIDE TWO. THE VISUAL GRADE WOULD BE NEAR MINT MINUS, BUT IT PLAYS FAR BETTER
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, BECAUSE 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 FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND SECONDLY THE OUTSTANDING LOUD AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS A CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A LITTLE DURING THE RUN INTO SIDE ONE
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR IT'S PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
E.J.DAY FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARIS JUST ONE TINY LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NEAR THE LEFT CORNER, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99%% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. WITH THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONLY THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOW A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED/ THE LAMINATE RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITHOUT FLAW. THERE IS JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM TIP END. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICK NEAR THE VERY TOP ON THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES AND VERY MILD AGEING
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
