THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION CANNOT FIND ONE SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE. THE LP SET HAS UNTIL TODAY NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE . A TRULY PRISTINE VINYL

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 FIRMLY 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

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED LP, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

THIS LP FIRST OF ALL HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION.

THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE BAREST ODD SECOND OF STATIC. IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD JUST ONE DUST POP IN ONE OF THE LINKING GROOVES ON SIDE ONE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! AN ABSOLUTE MUSEUM PIECE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

THIS NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, AS MOST COPIES YOU WILL EVER FIND WILL HAVE SEVERE CREASE LINES NEAR THE SPINE DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE CARD

THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE WHICH IS WHY IT HAS REMAINED IN THIS INCREDIBLE STATE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED

THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE OF ANY DESCRIPTION

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP HAS A SPECK OF LIGHT RUBBING. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RANDOM MINUSCULE WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS

THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS STILL PERFECT AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED AND ALL OF THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SLP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT,WITH JUST ONE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NOTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SURFACE

THE  PLAIN WHITE 'IMPORTANT NOTICE'  INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND STILL PURE WHITE

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

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