THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN BASE COLOUR ON THE LABELS IS JUST MINT. TOTALLY UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND RED LOGOS ARE ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEAR THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL,

THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

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. AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

A STUNNING LOUDLY CUT VINYL WHICH PERFORMS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN ONE OR TWO OF THE SILENT PASSAGES/LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO  DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM CERTAIN YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE THAN THIS SET

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WHICH IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

THIS SLEEVE CAN SUFFER BADLY FROM CREASING AND LAMINATE LIFT, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS BEEN PERFECTLY PRESERVED.GLEAMING LAMINATE THAT ONLY HAS A TINY SPECK OF LIFT IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

NO HEAVY CREASE LINES AND NO BENDS. USUALLY THERE ARE LINES NEAR THE SPINE WHICH SHOW WHITE THROUGH THE BLACK SURFACE.

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE MINUSCULE ONE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE.  NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY ADHERED FROM TIP TO TIP. THE JET BLACK GLOSSY COLOUR IS PERFECT AND THE ONLY PIN PRICK OF WHITE IS ON THE TOP RIGHT TIP END

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. FLAT AND CLEAN AND NONE OF THE BLACK HAS WORN AWAY, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS ONCE AGAIN INTACT. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP TIP IS MINT AND THE BOTTOM TIP HAS ONE DOT OF WHITE ON IT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN A GLEAMING MIRROR FINISH TO THE LAMINATE AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ONE TINY ONE AGAINST THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF LAMINATED PANELS THAT ARE IN MINT CONDITION. IN FAT THE GATEFOLD WONT OPEN DUE TO THE TIGHT LAMINATE, SO I AM LEAVING IT IN THIS FACTORY STATE

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SET. BEAUTIFULLY WHITE AND UNWRINKLED.NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND A PERFECTLY UNDAMAGED THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL GREY SMUDGES

THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS!!!! WITH EASE

AN OUTSTANDING COPY OF A CLASSIC ALBUM

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