THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK ISLAND LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE,SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IT HAS THAT JUST REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE SHEEN ABOUT IT, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE UNTIL TODAY.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM ONE ULTRA FINE AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!. I GUARANTEE THAT MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
SO THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
SECONDLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
NO VINYL NOISE AND ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC WHATSOEVER
I AM CERTAIN I DIDN'T HEAR MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ROBOR SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.
THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NON EITHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THERE AREN'T ANY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND WITHOUT RING WEAR, BUT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, AND THERE ISN'T EVEN A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN UNRUBBED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. WITH JUST THE TINIEST SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE, WHICH IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND UNRUBBED. ONE FINE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, AND THAT'S ALL. JUST MAGNIFICENT
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND UNSPLIT. ONE OF THE TOP CORNERS HAS A CREASE LINE ACROSS IT
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
