THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEAR THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A TINY LITTLE DULL MARK ON SIDE ONE WHICH IS NON SOUNDING

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.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE ONLY STATIC I HEARD WAS OCCASIONALLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS !!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED TEXTURED, EMBOSSED SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE. THE WHITE SURFACE HAS REMAINED PERFECTLY WHITE AND UNLIKE MOST COPIES THERE IS NO GRUBBINESS WHATSOEVER. ALSO AGAIN UNLIKE MOST COPIES THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE ONLY REASON THIS GRADES MINT MINUS AND NOT A FULL MINT IS THAT THERE IOS THE VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF THE ORIGINL ROUND STICKER THAT WAS PLACED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE  SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, FRONT OR BACK

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE PERFECT

THE SPINE IS JUST OUTSTANDING. 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. EVERY BIT OF THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE PRESENT AND RUN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITHOUT  BLEMISH. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS TOP AND BOTTOM ARE UNBLEMISHED

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

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT WITH NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, EVERY BIT AS MINT AS THE FRONT

THE ADVERTISING CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION AS WELL. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO WRINKLES, MARKS OR STAINS

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