THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TWO BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS!!!
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN. MOSTLY ON SIDE 2
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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 LP SOUNDS.
SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED, EMBOSSED AND DELICATE SINGLE SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE SURFACE.AND MOST I HAVE SEEN HAVE LARGE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE,AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER.
THERE IS A TINY LITTLE SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED IN THE TOP RIGHT AREA
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE AND IMMACULATE UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS. THE SPINE WORDING ALSO APPEARS ON THE TOP EDGE
THE THIN SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK AT THE VERY BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT!! CONDITION . JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEAR THE SPINE . NONE ELSEWHERE
THE PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT, UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
