THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE A IS IN MINT CONDITION, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS COLOUR WHATSOEVER. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE OF THE LABEL IS PURE WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS ON IT AT ALL. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON THIS ALBUM. IT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON IT AT ALL, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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 BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERSWOULD 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

MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED. I HAD TO PLAY THIS TO ENSURE THAT UNPLAYED DID INDEED MEAN MINT!!!

THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND IT'S CLEAR THE RECORD JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE. EVERY NOTE IS HEARD PERFECTLY AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE

EVERY LINKING GROOVE IS DEATHLY SILENT, AND THERE IS NO LOUD CLICKING OR VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT

THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC LIKE STUFF HEARD VERY OCCASIONALLY AND I AM BEING PICKY HERE

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR PERHAPS TWO STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS IS A SUBLIME DISC AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE PERFORMANCE AS MINT!!!!!!

TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE BY HOWARDS PRINTERS.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN WITH NO HEAVY CREASING OR DEEP CREASE LINES. THE BROWN COLOUR HAS A HISTORY OF RUBBING BADLY ON THIS SLEEVE, AND ON THIS ONE THERE IS SOME GREYING TO THE EDGES, AND A LIGHT SHADOW OR RING SHAPE.

THATS THE WORST OF THE SLEEVE, BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE IT IS IN TOP ORDER. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE SHELF WEAR WITH A BIT MORE RUBBING AT THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE DELICATE GOLD COLOUR IS ALL THERE, EVEN AT THE TIP ENDS. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS, AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE RECORD SHAPE WEAR BUT NOT THE EDGE GREYING

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH JUST A LITTLE GREYING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIECUT INNER SLEEVE HAS LIGHTLY AGED AT THE EDGES, BUT IS OTHERWISE TOTALLY UNSPLIT WITH ONE CORNER CREASED

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS EXCELLENT PLUS

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