THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND YELLOW LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS , JUST A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBKLE FOXING MOTTLES, AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.NO FINGERMARKS AT ALL
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE ARE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THE LITTLE PLAY THAT THIS LP HAS RECEIVED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY SOME STATIC LIKE VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOSTS SILENT PASSAGES AND A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP AS NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS IS ANA ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS TEXTURED IS USUALLY ENOUGH ON ITS OWN TO GUARANTEE PROBLEMS BUT THIS IS PURE WHITE AS WELL AS BEING TEXTURED AND THAT IS A TERRIBLE COMBINATION FOR DIRT AND GRIME, AND HANDLING. HOWEVER IN THIS CASE WE HAVE A SLEEVE THAT IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS !!! VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS PERFECT AND THERE ARE NO TEARS OR RUBS TO THE SURFACE. THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE, WITH JUST A TINY SHADOW OF AGEING AT THE SPINE EDGE, AND A VERY LIGHT GREY MARK JUST ABOVE THE SNAKE HEAD. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS A TINY DING TO IT.
THERE ARE FOUR MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL PERFECTLY WHITE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END WHERE THE SMALL DING IS SEEN
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN AS CLEAN CONDITION AS THE FRONT. ONE TINY STAIN ON THE TOP EDGE AND A LITTLE AGEING TO THE SPINE AREA, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.
THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES. JUST A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE. THE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP IS PRISTINE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
