THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.

NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW OFTEN THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.WITH JUST A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE 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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC HERE AND THERE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1 TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, RIGHT AT THE END OF THE PENULTIMATE TRACK SIDE ONE

THIS ONCE PLAYED ALBUM HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE OF MINT MINUS!!!!

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. JUST A SMALL DING TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LITTLE LINES BY THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE,

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY MINT WITH JUST A FEW TINY FLECKS OF WHITE VISIBLE ON EITHER EDGE, THE TOP EDGE HAS  A COUPLE OF WHITE CHIPS, AND THE CORNER TIP ENDS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE APART FROM A SMALL SCUFF AT THE VERY TOP

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALSO THE GATEFOLD WON'T OPEN FLAT SHOWING THAT IT HAS REMAINED IN A CLOSED POSITION ALL OF ITS LIFE

THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND ONLY A LITTLE LIGHT GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS

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