THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THERE IS STILL SOME RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS ONE SPIDER LINE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
A TRULY FACTORY FRESH MINT RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY 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
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND IS JUST STUNNING
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION WHICH IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT
ALL OF THE QUIET PASSAGES ARE SILENT, AND THE GUITAR STRINGS ARE HEARD CLEANLY
THERE CANNOT BE A BETTER QUALITY EXAMPLE OF THIS ANYWHERE
I HEARD ONLY A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT DUST TICS
THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE WITH I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE AS MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
MATT NON LAMINATED FINISH TO BOTH SIDES
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THE INKS ARE DEEP AND RICH AND HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE TWO TINY AND NEAR INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE TEXT IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
