THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE WHITE SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNMARKED, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY CLEAR AND FULLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL PRISTINE VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED.
THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND EVEN WHEN I OFFERED IT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE WERE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY 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 ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH.SOMETHING I NOW DO FOR ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BUYERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS AND I SURE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB COPY.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, AND NO LOUD CLICKS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC IN ANY OF THE LINKING GROOVES EITHER, JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO TICS OR POPS ANYWHERE, JUST ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE STATIC TICS
EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB . HIGHLY POLISHED LAMINATED SHEEN THAT IS FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE.TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SUPERB AND HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AT ALL, FILLY LAMINATED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATED WHITE BASE COLOUR IS PERFECT. THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT HAS NO MAJOR BLEMISHES, JUST A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE IT WILL NOT LIE FLAT WHICH DEMONSTRATED JUST HOW OFTEN THIS HAS BEEN OPENED, AS THE LAMINATE HAS NOT CRACKED ON THE SPINE WHERE IT WOULD HAVE IF IT HAD BEEN FORCED OPEN.
THE CORRECT TRACK LISTING INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT AND STILL VERY WHITE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
