THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS

AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HANDLING LINES

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. THIS IS SOMETHING I ADD TO THE AUCTIONS AND ALTHOUGH IT TAKES EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT, I BELIEVE IT'S WELL WORTH IT.

IT HAS LONG BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A LOTTERY WHEN IT COMES TO RECORDS. SO MANY INEXPERIENCED SELLERS DESCRIBE RECORDS AS MINT, ONLY FOR THEM TO BE ANYTHING BUT, AND THIS IS A VALID ARGUMENT THAT BUYERS WILL LEVY AGAINST SELLERS. FAIR ENOUGH, BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ENTIRE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO BID.

AS YOU KNOW I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A TOP SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER. NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

SIDE ONE HAS A FEW TINY RANDOM DUST POPS HERE AND THERE AND THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS. SIDE B IS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS WITH JUSTA COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS AND GRADES MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, SIT BACK AND TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

MACNEILL SINGLE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNMARKED AND UNSTAINED. THIS NON LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS, PLUS THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND NOT RUBBED AWAY

THERE IS NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE SIX SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE OF WHICH ONE STARTS TO RUN DOWN ACROSS THE RIGHT CORNER, AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE DO HAVE SHELF WEAR. THE TOP JUST SOME WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE BROWN SURFACE, THE BOTTOM HAS HARDLY ANY OF THE BROWN LEFT

THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS AND ONLY A LITTLE FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE WITH A COUPLE OF LETTERS LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A LITTLE LIGHT BURRING IN PATCHES

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND RUB FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO  COLOUR LOSS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR RING WEAR. JUST THE SMALL LINES ALONG THE EDGES, AND OTHER THAN THIS THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY PENNED '120B' IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED. IT HAS BROWNED LIGHTLY, BUT IS UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  EXCELLENT PLUS

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