THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MATT ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE TWO OF THE TINIEST SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE LABELS HAVE MANUFACTURED BY RCA LTD IN ENGLAND ON THE RIM
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF 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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY VINYL NOISE OR STATIC APART FROM JUST A TINY BIT IN THE RUN IN AND THE ODD SPLIT SECOND IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR TICS AT ALL
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN MINT MINUS CONDITION
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY TOTALLY UNCREASED. NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THAT INCLUDES THE CORNER TIPS. THE GREY LAMINATE FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND AGAIN THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY WEAR TO THE SPINE TIPS.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND AMAZINGLY NONE OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER
THE REAR SURFACE IS LIKE THE FRONT TOTALLY IMMACULATE, AGAIN NO CREASES AND JUST ONE TINY LINE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. AGAIN NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
