THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS HAVE SOME FOXING MOTTLES ON THEM. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACE NOR THE SILVER TYPEFACE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND IT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN A CLEAN AND SHINY CONDITION AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND AT ALL
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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL OF THE VINYL THAT I LIST. I AM CERTAIN BIDDERS OUT THERE WILL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON RATHER THAN LEAVE IT TO POT LUCK.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS WITH ONE SLIGHT FLAW IN THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE ONE WHERE THERE IS TWO SPECKS OF CRACKLE AT THE SAME POINT OF THE ROTATION, FOLLOWED BY TWO TICS, ABOUT 30 SECONDS IN FROM THE START OF THE TRACK, SO PLEASE PLAY THE THIRD AUDIO TRACK TO HEAR THEM AS I HAVE RECORDED THEM SEPARATELY. I NORMALLY WOULDN'T LIST A RECORD THAT HAS THIS BUT DUE TO IT'S SCARCITY I AM MAKING IT AVAILABLE
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS BOTH UNWORN, AND TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE JUST SOME VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM STATIC TICS AND AS SIDE TWO FADES OUT THERE ARE SOME LIGHT ROTATIONAL TICS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOUR SELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE. FROM MCNEILL PRESS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. AND THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.
THE LAMINATE IS VIRTUALLY PERFECT, JUST THE USUAL SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONGSIDE THE SPINE
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP LEFT ONE, AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. FOUR SMALL ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED, NO DAMAGE, NO WEAR, AND NO RUB, AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. AGAIN, THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECT. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION AS THE FRONT. THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE WHITE UNDER CARD ON THE EDGE , WHERE THE LAMINATE WAS NOT COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE THE RECORD WAS PACKED
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT AND FREE FROM SPLITS, A COUPLE OF LIGHT MOTTLES
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
