THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

A MAGNIFICENT SET OF LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE. THIS LP COULD BE UNPLAYED. THERE IS EVEN SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL, LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOT E HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THERE IS THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES IF AT ALL.

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS VINYL GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!!

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBOR GATEFOLD FIRST PRESS SLEEVE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.HAVING BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FROM NEW IT IS TRULY A MINT EXAMPLE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. THERE IS JUST ONE REALLY TINY LITTLE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE AT THE BOTTOM. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE WHITE SURFACE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE ONLY MINUSCULE EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING IS ONE TINY SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT REAR CORNER TIP, AND THE SAME ON THE TOP RIGHT REAR

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND UNCREASED, AND THIS AGAIN SHOWS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT !!!

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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