THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK AND SILVER TEXT LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND  FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE IS NOT ONE SPIDER LINE OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT THIS VINYL HAS EVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE.

YOU WILL NEVER SEE A BETTER SET OF LABELS THAN THIS

THE VINYL

THIS ULTRA HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF THIS DISC, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE, CLEARLY THE VINYL JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED UNTIL MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY TODAY

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 BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS 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 VINYL SOUNDS. THE CLARITY IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR, AND IT'S JUST MAGNIFICENT

I JUST CANNOT FAULT THIS AUDIO REPRODUCTION WHATSOEVER. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION AT ALL, BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM AN UNPLAYED ALBUM?

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NOT ONE IOTA OF VINYL NOISE, APART FROM THE VERY START OF SIDE 2

THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC AT THE VERY START OF EACH SIDE, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS HERE AND THERE

THIS VINYL CANNOT BE BETTERED IN ANY WAY IN MY OPINION AND I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO GRADE THIS SUPERB ALBUM MINT MINUS

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

THIS NON LAMINATED 'ROBERT STACE' GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS RARELY FOUND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'WORN OUT' CONDITION. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE CONDITION.

CLEARLY THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED SINCE NEW IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE. THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, AND ONLY ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NO THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THE DELICATE GREY COLOUR RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL , BECAUSE MOST COPIES WILL BE FLATTENED. THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS TOTALLY RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE. THIS LP HAS CLEARLY REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE ALL OF IT'S LIFE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY RECORD SHAPE LIKE MOST COPIES YOU WILL SEE. NOT ONE CREASE LINE, OR EVEN TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TOTALLY MINT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER SURFACES . JUST IMMACULATE IN EVERY WAY

THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION TO MATCH THE REST OF THE PACKAGE.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!!

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