THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PINK  LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THE PINKSURFACE IS PERFECT AND UNMARKED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THAT THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED IN 52 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND 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 ARE NO MORE  WISPY HAIRLINES OR ANY OTHER MAN MADE BLEMISHES, JUST A FEW EMBEDDED DULL SPECKS

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, AS 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 CLEAR AND CRISP THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS, AND THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL. 

SO NO GROOVE WEAR

THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY  BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS AT ALL.

CLEARLY THIS VINYL HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND BARELY PLAYED. 

PLEASE WHATEVER ELSE YOU DO, TAKE A LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS WHICH WILL DEMONSTARATE JUST HOW PRISTINE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE REALLY IS

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE - NO CLICKS - NO POPS

NOT EVEN ANY STATIC LIKE STUFF, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT

THE ONLY OCCASIONAL SPECK OF AUDIBLE NOISE IS THE USUAL 'ISLAND VINYL NOISE' ON THIS LLP HOWEVER IT IS VERY MINIMAL AS YOU WILL HEAR

THE RECORD WAS PLAYED THROUGH AN AUDIO TECHNICA DECK AND A BOSE SPEAKER SYSTEM

IT WITH ABSULUTE PLEASURE THAT I GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND BE THE JUDGE OF ITS QUALITY

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED , E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT OF THE COVER HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR. THERE IS NO RUBBING, OR RING WEAR AT ALL. NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE OR IMPRESSION

THERE ARE TWO LIGHT CREASE LINES. ONE RUNS ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND THE OTHER ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

THERE ARE FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, THREE ALING THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS LIGHT SHELF RUB IN PATCHES, THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY AT THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE LIGHT RUB AND ONE OR TWO OF THE LETTERS OF THE TEXT HAVE BEEN RUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO VERY CLEAN. THE CREASES ON THE DRONT IN THE CORNERS HAVE NOT MADE THEIR WAY ONTO THE REAR

THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RUB TO THE BROWN AREA ON THE BOTTOM EDGE IN THE MISSLE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE EX+

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
