THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, MAYBE A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST 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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS A LITTLE SPECK OF EMBEDDED BUT BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE, YOU MAY HEAR IT DURING THE RUN IN TO SIDE ONE

OTHER THAN THIS SOME VERY VERY INAUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY DURING SOME OF THE VERY QUIETEST MOMENTS AND THEN ONLY IF YOU SIT ON TOP OF YOUR SPEAKERS AS I DO WHILST TYPING THIS OUT

NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE

AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

THIS HOWARDS 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TO COLLECT IN ANYTHING LIKE AN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION. IT SIMPLY ALWAYS HAS NUMEROUS FLAWS, FROM LOSS OF COLOUR, TO DAMAGED EDGES, AND THE DIE CUT HOLE, AND THAT WITHOUT THE SEVERE NUMBER OF LINES USUALLY FOUND BY THE SPINE, PLUS THE INSIDE BLACK PANEL USUALLY BEING COVERED IN WHITE PATCHES. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION  READ ON.........

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL.AND THAT IN ITSELF IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE

THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NOE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER NEAR THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE FLAP.

THE DIE CUT HOLE IS JUST PRISTINE. NO NICKS WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT AROUND THE HOLE

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAS A TINY LITTLE DING, AND THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS ONE TINY LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE VERY BOTTOM OF IT

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER , AND THIS IS USUALLY A DISASTER AREA WHERE THE DELICATE SILVER IS WORN OFF, BUT THERE THERE IS JUST A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND THE TOP LEFT ONE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND IMPORTANTLY THE  THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE DELICATE SILVER IS ALL THERE WITH JUST THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOWING LIGHT RUBBING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING, OR RING WEAR. NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER FOR THAT MATTER. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NOT ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, OR THE OTHER EDGES EITHER. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL DING, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS HAVE LIGHT RUB

OPENING THE FRONT FLAP REVEALS A PERFECTLY BLACK LEFT INNER PANEL, AND A MINT RIGHT PANEL, WITH THE OPENING EDGE FOR THE LP IN IMMACULATE RAZOR SHARP CONDITION, AND THE INNER SURFACE OF THE SPINE JUST ABOUT PERFECT

THE  ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!

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