THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK RAINBOW LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HASN'T WORN ANYWHERE, AND IT STRETCHES RIGHT INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE IS STILL RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW 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. A DECISION I HAVE TAKEN AND ALL OF MY LISTINGS NOW FEATURE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT YOU MIGHT BE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.
I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO 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 DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER,AND NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION.
THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES
THE ONLY PTHER THING I HEARD DURING MY TEST PLAY WAS TWO OR THREE RANDOM AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SUPERB 38 YEAR OLD DISC MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED , SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES WHATSOEVER, NO CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS EITHER, AND JUST HALF A DOZEN OF THE MOST MICROSCOPIC LINES NEAR THE SPINE
NO LINES ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR TO THE FRONT SURFACE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP EDGE HAS THE SPINE WORDING ON IT AND THIS IS IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. NO COLOUR OOSS EVEN AT THE TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VIRTUALLY IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH
THE OPENING EDGE IS AS NEW RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, THIN BUT FLAT WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB IMPRESSION. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT AND VERY WHITE CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
