THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED, THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN'T SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY AND NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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, BECAUSE I FIRMLY 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

NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER, AND NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES 

I AM CERTAIN THAT IS DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN A SINGLE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.

I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBOR SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND SUPERBLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS A DING WHERE THERE ARE TWO CREASE LINES ACROSS THE CORNER. THE BOTTOM LEFT HAS A REALLY SMALL DING

THE COLOURS ARE ALL IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. I SEE A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE VERY LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES

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

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED . THE CORNER TIPS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER, WHERE THE DING IS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING, ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT AND AGAIN THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR, AND EVEN THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED ALTHOUTH THE BOTTOM TIP END IS SLIGHTLY DISCOLOURED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP EVEN WHERE THE BOTTOM IS SLIGHTLY BENT

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT FOXING

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FREE FROM SPLITS OR CREASES, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES
