THE RECORDS

THE BLACK AND WHITE, AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A STUNNING VINYL!!!
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 BRILLIANTLY 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 SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM GOLD SECTIONS AND A LITTLE OFF THE CORNERS
THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF SEVERE WEAR TO THE GOLD AREAS AND WHILST THIS ONE IS NOT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE.
THERE ARE TWO TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. HAVE A LITTLE SHELF WEAR IN THAT THE TOP GOLD COAT HAS FLAKED IN PATCHES ALONG BOTH EDGES, BUT NOT SEVERELY
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED THE TOP AND BOTTOM GOLD SECTIONS HAVE A LITTLE RUB, BUT THE WHITE AREA IS MINT, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION . LIKE THE FRONT A FEW RUBBED FLECKS ON THE GOLD AREAS
THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT!!
