THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER WWA LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO MINT AND UNRUBBED
I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE MEANING THAT THE LP COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.
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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I BELIEVE 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
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR AND LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO DUST POPS OR TICS
THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
TO ME THIS IS THE WORST TYPE OF SLEEVE FOR WEAR, DUE TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE .
HERE IS ONE THOUGH THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUB.
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE..
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ON THE EDGES ONLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRODUCED
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, JUST THREE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE
THE INSERT LYRIC INNER IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
