THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE CHRYSALIS LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AMAZINGLY .
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS JUST MINT. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, BARELY A WISPY HAIRLINE AT ALL. IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IT GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW ALBUM
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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I 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
THIS IS TRULY A SUPERB AUDIO REPRODUCTION, FROM THIS VINYL
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT!!
I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THERE IS NOT A JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON EITHER SIDE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND BARELY ANY VINYL NOISE FOR WHICH ISLAND / CHRYSALIS ALBUMS ARE INFAMOUS FOR
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO VINYL NOISE AT ALL
A SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC DURING THE RUN IN TO SIDE ONE, AND I HEARD 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, OR HEAVY CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING AT ALL, AND NO RINGWEAR. THERE ARE TWO LIGHT TRAMLINE SCRATCHES UNDER NEATH THE ARTISTS NAME AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE
AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE. FOUR MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO MORE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER AND ARE IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION. EVEN THE TIP ENDS AT THE CORNERS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOW AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS, PLUS ONE MORE UNDER THE WORD UK.
THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND A S GOOD AS NEW
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND PRISTINE AS THE FRONT, WITHOUT THE TWO LIGHT SCRATCHES. THERE IS ONE LINE BY THE SPINE AND ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE ONLY.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS A PICTURE INNER ON HEAVY GLOSSY PAPER. IT IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ONE TINY DING TO ONE OF THE TOP CORNERS AND THAT'S ALL
NO DAMAGE OR WEAR TO THE OPENING EDGE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB SLEEVE MINT MINUS
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
