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 JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES AT ALL SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE VINYL AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ON SIDE TWO A WAVY ULTRA FINE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE.
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 AM DOING WITH ALL THE ALBUMS THAT I LIST AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 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.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEAR CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE A FEW ODD SECONDS OF LIGHT STATIC ON OCCASION, AND NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
THIS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS
- DIRTY WHITE SURFACE
- SEVERE RING WEAR
- SPLITS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER SLEEVE
THIS COPY IS IN VERY COLLECTIBLE CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINESS OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS.THERE IS LIGHT HANDLING TO THE EDGES
THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING THERE.
THERE ARE SIX TINY AND BARELY VISIBLE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. ONE THUMB LINE JUST BELOW MARC'S LEFT SHOULDER HIDDEN IN THE BLACK
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE WAFER THIN. THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR THERE AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS LIGHT RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS AND A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE.
THE SPINE IS THE TAPERED FIRST ISSUE AND LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT WITHA COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND NO GRUBBINESS, JUST A FEW TINY LINES ON THE EDGES, PLUS SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES
THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE THIS GOOD. THE RED COLOUR IS PERFECT ALL OVER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING ANYWHERE
NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO CREASES OR EVEN ANY SMALL LINES AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE INNER. IT IS TOTALLY AS NEW. THERE IS THE LIGHTEST RECORD IMPRESSION ONLY
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
