THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DEEP RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE  SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS POWERFUL AND CLEAR AS A BELL

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS

CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO STATIC HEARD EITHER EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED ' SENOL ' SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO CREASES AND OR HEAVY CREASE LINES.

THERE ARE FOUR MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP END BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER TIPS HAVE THE TINIEST DINGS TO THEM, AND IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR, AND EVIDENCE OF LIGHT HANDLING

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE DELICATE GREY SURFACE RUNNING THE FULL WIDTH WITH ONLY THE RIGHT TIP END CHOWING A SPECK OF RUB. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE IN BOTH CORNERS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE DELICATE GREY SURFACE IS ONLY RUBBED AT THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE INCREDIBLE STATE THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN THAT LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR IS VISIBLE AT AN ANGLE

THE 2 PAGE LYRIC INSERT IS IN FLAT UNCREASED CONDITION, JUST A LITTLE AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH NO CREASES OR MARKS. THIS AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED.

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT !!!

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