THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  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 IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

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 IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. 

WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHT THERE IS A LIGHT SURFACE SKATE LINE COVERING SIDE TWO

THIS IS THE ONLY MARK ON THE ENTIRE LP. NO WISPY LINES OR ANYTHING ELSE

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. 

IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THE SLEEVE ADVISES TO PLAY THIS LOUDLY, AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE STEREO MIX IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT. CLEAR AS A BELL AND CUT VERY LOUD INDEED

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

I HEARD 5 VERY TINY LOW LEVEL ROTATIONAL TICS DURING THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE TWO, AND NOTHING ELSE

WITHOUT THESE I WOULD BE LOOKING AT A MINT GRADE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT MINUS!!!!

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AS IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT TRULY COUNTS

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE AND IMPORTANTLY NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR THIS OFTEN ABUSED COVER.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHICH IS AGAIN A RARITY, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP TIPS

INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE BY THE  SPINE. TWO EQUALLY SMALL ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, JUST TWO  TINY ONSE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SUPERB. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND FULLY RUN FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. THERE IS A TINY BOT OF LIGHT RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS NO SQUASHING, ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND FULLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO WEAR TOP THE SURFACE AND THIS INCLUDES THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THOSE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.

THERE IS REFERENCE TO 'A GEM PRODUCTION'  AND MAINMAN CREDITS, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. AMAZINGLY NO SEAM SPLITS WHICH IS RARE. NO CREASES EITHER
