THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC ANS INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPER VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.
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 IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND SHOWING THAT THE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE PRETTY WELL SILENT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED MACNELL SINGLE SLEEVE. THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE VINYL IN THE TEXTURED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, STAINS, CREASES, CREASE LINES, DENTS, DINGS OR RUBBING. THE FINISH IS IMMACULATE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE NEAR INVISIBLE ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE CREAM COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME WHITE SPECKS VISIBLE THROUGH THE BLACK SURFACE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP.
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH ONE VERY LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION, NO LOSS OF COLOUR INCLUDING THE PERFECT TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS INCREDIBLE AS THE FRONT. WITH JUST A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND STILL VERY WHITE. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
