THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDE IS VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY CLEAN. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS , AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A SPATTERING OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 AS I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND BARELY A SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THIS SLEEVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE RING WEAR DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE CARD USED. THIS COPY IS FREE FROM ANY RING WEAR AND INCREDIBLY NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THERE ARE JUST FIVE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,FOUR MORE TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY SQUARE AND UNRUBBED.

NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE 

THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT FROM TIP TO TIP ON BOTH EDGES. THERE IS NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT AND UNBLEMISHED. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE ALSO IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP .THIS SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE

THE THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT, JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER AND THATS ALL

THE ORIGINAL APPLE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT, AND UNWRINKLED CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS. IT IS THAT GOOD!!!!
