THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MAGENTALABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM SET . IN DAY LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,AND THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, OTHER THAN ONE HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE ON ONE SIDE. THE VINYLS ARE REALLY PERFECT.
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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
INCREDIBLE!!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE REPRODUCTION. SO MANY NEAR SILENT PASSAGES THAT PERFORM TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OR BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE RUN IN ON THE FIRST SIDE
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH ALL SIX SIDES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE OUTER BOX HAS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER SPLIT BUT THAT IS THE ONLY BLEMISH ON THE BOX, OTHER THAN A LITTLE LIGHT RUB TO THE BLACK BORDER EDGES
BOTH GATEFOLD SLEEVES ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THE SLEEVES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.
NO RUBBING, NO LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGES.
SHARP SQUARE CORNERS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE. THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINES ARE ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE SUPERB AND FULLY RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THESE DISCS HAVE REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACES ARE ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD'S REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS ON BOTH SLEEVES AND PERFECT INNER BOOKS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
