THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CREAM AND BROWN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I DON'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , APART FROM SOME ULTRA FINE AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING SWIRLY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES.
THE MOTHERS AND STAMPERS ARE JUST ABOUT THE LOWEST YOU CAN GET FOR THIS VINYL ENSURING THAT THIS COPY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE PRESS.
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 JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND THE ONLT TIME YOU WILL HEAR ANY STATIC WILL BE IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL 100% MINT!!! MINT MINUS AT THE VERY WORST
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THREE CLUSTERED TOGETHER AT THE VERY TOP AND ONE IN THE MIDDLE, WITH THE LAST ONE AT THE BOTTOM. TWO MICROSCOPIC ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES ANEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL 100% LAMINATED AND TOTALLY UNWORN.ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER UNBLEMISHED. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED, PLUS THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS VINYL HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER BY THE SPINE.
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT AND UNWRINKLED CONDITION
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
