THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE WHITE AREAS ARE STILL PURE WHITE. 

NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.

THE ORIGINAL OWNER DID NEATLY PEN THEIR NAME ON ONE SIDE AT THE TOP

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE THREE SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE .

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS NEAR FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. 

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE  SOME VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES ONLY

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. I BELIEVE THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT,

THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.

THE RUN IN GROOVE IS NEAR SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES AND THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT ISLAND PRESSES USUALLY HAVE INHERENT VINYL NOISE. THIS IS AS GOOD AS ANY I HAVE EVER HEARD

THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF HEAVY  BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY TICS OR DUST POPS

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS  VINYL GRADES NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT THAT WAY!, AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. THE LAMINATE IS JUST PERFECT AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. 

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. 

 THE BOTTOM AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAS A LITTLE RUB.

THERE IS JUST ONE LAMINATE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE,  AND A NOTHER WHICH RUNS OVER THE CORNER TIP AT THE BOTTOM

 NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES ARE PERFECT. GLOSSY LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNERS.

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. NO PEEL OR FLAKE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS TWO LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. ONE SMALL THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF WHITE PANELS

THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS

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