THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND GREY A & M LABELS ARE IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED. SIDE ONE HAS A MAUVE LINE ON IT IN THE MIDDLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE ONE TINY LITTLE NON SOUND HANDLING MARK ON SIDE TWO TRACK ONE. OTHERWISE A 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW 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
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION
NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE STATIC TIC THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS REPRODUCTION GRADES MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
MACNEILL UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED
THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY MINT. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT AND PERFECT APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP WHICH HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE TIP END
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT WITH ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION NEAR THE BOTTOM TIP. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM INCLUDING THE TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT WITH ONE SMALL IMPRESSION DENT JUST BY THE SPINE.
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT.
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
