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. 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT 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 HARLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR 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

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE FROM THE FACTORY AND ONLY THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND RIGHT AT THE START OF SIDE TWO IN THE DEAD WAX

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE WITH  INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS AUDIO

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GARRODPRINT SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY FREE FROM ANY LOSS OF THE DELICATE ORANGE COLOURS. THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.

NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS.

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO  THE SPINE.  ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR,WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL ON THIS SLEEVE AND SHOWS THAT THE COVER WAS PROTECTED BY AN OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. 

ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE ON BOTH SURFACES, WITH JUST THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS OF THE TWO RIGHT CORNERS HAVING ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. 

ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND THERE IS NO SCUFFING OR WEAR TO THE LEADING EDGES WHICH SO OFTEN SHOWS ON THIS SLEEVE. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS ONLY ONE DOT OF WHITE VISIBLE ON EACH TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND AMAZINGLY NONE OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER, WHICH AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS LIKE THE FRONT TOTALLY IMMACULATE, AGAIN NO CREASES AND JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE.THE ORANGE TRACK LIST STICKER IS FIRMLY ASHERED TO THE SLEEVE

THE PLAIN DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOP UNSPLIT CONDITION, AND STILL PURE WHITE AND UNCREASED, AND IS THE CORRECT INNER FOR THE ALBUM. HAS TWO TEARS ON THE DIE CUT HOLE ON ONE SIDE

THE LYRIC INSERT AND FAN CLUB FLYER ARE ABSOLUTELY MINT!!

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
