THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SILVER LABELS 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 ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . FAULTLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN SOME 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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO MORE THAN A FEW RANDOM TINY SPECKS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN SOME OF THE SILENT PASSAGES, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
MIRROR FINISH SILVER SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. USUALLY THE SURFACE HAS SCRATCHED BADLY, AND LOST ITS MIRROR FINISH RESULTING IN BLACK UNDERSURFACE APPEARING. LET ALONE THE RING WEAR THAT USUALLY ADORNS THE SURFACE. YET HERE WE HAVE A NEAR PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPERB OFFERING
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND THE MIRROR FINISH GLEAMS SUPERBLY. THERE ARE A FEW ULTRA FINE SURFACE LINES BUT THESE REALLY PALE INTO INSIGNIFICANCE. THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
NO FOLDS DINGS OR BENDS
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE TOWARD'S THE BOTTOM. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOUR INTACT APART FROM A TINY SPECK OF PAPER SPLIT ON THE TOP EDGE. THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND ALMOST MINT!!! THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE EASILY WORN SILVER IS THERE WITH ONLY A TINY SPECK OF RUB SHOWING ON THE BOTTOM TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH JUST LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNMARKED AND A PRISTINE THUMB NOTCH
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
