THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. .

THE VINYL

THE VINYL  GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT APPEARS TO BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UPON INSPECTION UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE IS ONE NON SOUNDING SCUFF ON TRACK THREE SIDE TWO. POSSIBLE CAUSED BY A MISPLACED FINGERNAIL. THE IMPORTANT THING THOUGH S THAT IT DOESN'T SOUND.OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE JUST THE USUAL FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A FEW DULL SPECKLES

 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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I 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

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES,MORESO ON SIDE ONE WHERE IT IS FAULTLESS, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

IT IS AN INCREDIBLE FIRST PRESS REPRODUCTION AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES ON SIDE TWO, AND 2 TINY TICS ON TRACK ONE SIDE TWO ( SOUNDBITE 3 HAS THESE)

SO FOR ME THIS GRADE MINT FOR SIDE ONE, AND NEAR MINT FOR SIDE TWO MAKING AN OVERALL GRADE OF MINT MINUS!!

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLEASE LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED EMI SLEEVE, WHICH HISTORICALLY IS FOUND WITH SEVERE CREASING TO IT, PARTICULARLY DOWN THE SPINE AND PERIMETER EDGES DUE TO THE THIN NATURE OF THE CARD USED

THIS SLEEVE HOWEVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CREASE FREE CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS LAMINATE THAT IS GLEAMING LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.NO CREASES OR BENDS, AND THE DIE CUT HOLE IS PERFECT. THE ONLY SPECK OF WEAR IS A TINY  LITTLE BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS THE SPINE WORDING TYPEFACE ON IT, AND IS TOTALLY PRISTINE. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VIRTUALLY AS PERFECT WITH ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIP LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED AND HAS NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE IS ALSO TOTALLY FLAT AND IMMACULATE, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF DIMPLES ALONG THE LENGTH. THE TOP TIP IS UNRUBBED, THE BOTTOM TIP HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND ANOTHER GLEAMING SURFACE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

ALSO WORTH A MENTION IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE ON THIS SLEEVE

THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. MADE FROM A SEMI GLOSSY STIFF CARD, VERY HARD TO FIND WITHOUT A SPLIT TO THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT THIS ONE IS PERFECT AT THAT POINT. THERE IS ONE TINY SPLIT TO THE VERY TOP LEFT SEAM.

A LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD IMPRESSION IS ALSO VISIBLE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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