THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND COMPLETELY UNMARKED
NO WEAR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND I CAN BARELY MAKE OUT ONE TINY SPIDER LINE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL ANYWHERE!!
NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ETC.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY SOME BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE LAMINATE IS STILL VERY GLOSSY THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. SIX ALONG THE TOP EDGEONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH STILL PERFECTLY LAMINATED AND ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING ANYWHERE INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH TWO GINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS THERE. ONE TINY SCUFF ON VANGELIS'S NAME. BOTH TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP ALONG BOTH EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS UNWORN AS THE FRONT AND JUST AS CLEAN. A FEW TINY LINES ON THE EDGES, AND A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE HAS A FEW FOXING MOTTLES BUT IS UNSPLIT AND FLAT
THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
