THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE, SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE. SIMPLY MINT
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 HAVE LONG BELIEVED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND I HAVE MADE THE STEP UP TO DO JUST THAT. I AM CONVINCED IT IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY VINYLSALES.
I WANTED TO ALLOW BIDDERS TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE REPRODUCTION IS LIKE, AND PARTICULARLY THE QUIET PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER. NO CLICKS , AND I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY STATIC OR AMZINGLY NO TINY DUST POPS EITHER
THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT, AND SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS UNPLAYED VINYL
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS (TOP RIGHT CORNER ONE MINISCULE ONE)

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM AMY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVERE, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ONE TINY SLIVER OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, AND SOME MILD RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE AND UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVEY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE
THE ORIGINAL LAMINATED PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
