THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE BASE COLOUR ON THESE DELICATE LABELS IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND UNMARKED.

THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

I HAVE EXAMINED THE SPINDLE HOLE UNDER A SPOT LIGHT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND I CAN ONLY SPOT ONE OF THE TINIEST SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT TO BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT, 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 INCLUDING THE RUN INS', THE RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT.LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS SOME VERY VERY MILD AND INSIGNIFICANT BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, HEARD IN A COUPLE OF  THE LINKING GROOVES AND ON OCCASION DURING THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES. ALSO A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS OR TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED EASILY RUBBED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES ON THE SURFACE. THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. THERE IS ONE TINY WHITE PIN PRICK JUST BELOW THE YELLOW STICKER

THERE IS NO RINGWEAR , JUST A LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP

THERE ARE 10 TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE AND  THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE.

NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER

THE SPINE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY DENTS WHERE A FEW OF THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ON THE FRONT HAVE MADE AN IMPRESSION.  ALL OF THE DELICATE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS WITHOUT QUESTION AS SHARP AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO HAVE A COPY. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICK VISIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, ALTHOUGH THERE IS ONE LARGE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER.

THE THIN PAPER PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE BLEMISH ANYWHERE, AND ALL SEAMS ARE UNSPLIT. A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  EXCELLENT PLUS

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