THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE ON ONE SIDE ONLY
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS STILL IN SUPERB CONDITION. GLEAMING AND GLOSSY AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER SPOTLIGHT IT IS EQUALLY PERFECT. NOT ONE WISPY HAIRLINE ANYWHERE
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED 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 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 DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO AUDIBLE STATIC ANYWHERE
NO TICS OR POPS AT ALL EITHER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL'S AUDIO MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AS IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED , GLOSSY SHEEN SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE ONLY PATCH OF DULLING OCCURS WHERE THE ORIGINAL PRICE STICKER WAS REMOVED NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE IS NO CREASING TO THE FRONT SURFACE, NO FOLDS OR BENDS AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING HERE AS WELL. NO RUBBING ANYWHERE. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS GOOD BUT SHOWS THREE TINY SPECKS OF RUB NEAR THE LEFT CORNER
WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR IS STILL PERFECT AND UNRUBBED, WITH THE COLOURED TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THOSE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . NO CREASES OR SEAM SPLITS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
