    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR / OYSTER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAD NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT WHATSOEVER. 

     

    THE VINYL

    THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES


    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 INCLUDING THE RUN IN'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES, AS I AM NOW CONVINCED THAT MY DECISION TO START DOINF THIS IS WELCOMED BY POTENTIAL BIDDERS, AND WHILST IT TAKES ME FAR LONGER TO COMPLETE, THE EFFORT IS WELL WORTH IT

    THE VINYL PERFORMS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

    NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

    IF I AM BEING ULTRA PICKY THEN THERE IS JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF STATIC FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHEN YOU FIRST PUT THE STYLUS ONTO THE DISC, BUT THAT IS BEING REALLY PICKY

    BUT DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. 

    THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED APART FROM A LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING AROUND THE EDGES

    THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE ON THE OPENING EDGE

    THE TOP EDGE HAS THE COLOURS RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE AND TWO MORE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE MORE RUN TO THE CORNERS

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, THE COLOURS ARE IN UNRUBBED CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW WITE PIN PRICKS VISIBLE AND A LITTLE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

    THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG IT WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN PULLED FROM THE SLEEVE.

    THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE BLACK COLOURING AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS A SHADOW OF GREYING AROUND THE EDGES

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE DEEP BLACK PAIR OF INNER PANELS

    THEN ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FREE FROM SPLITS AND CREASES, JUST SOME EDGE AGEING

    THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
