THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. AND THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. A DETAILED EXAMONATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVELAS JUST TWO MINISCULE SPIDER LINES, SHOWING WHY THIS VINYL IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS. AND PLACING THE DISC GENTLY ON MY TURNTABLE I COULD SEE,HEAR AND FEEL VINYL SHARDS STILL INSIDE THE HOLE, BACKING UP THE FACT THAT THIS RARE DISC HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE , GLEAMING AS NEW DISC THAT HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S LUSTRE. IT IS TOTALLY FLAWKESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EBEN WHEN EXAMINED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMNINATION, THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE , IT REALLY IS IMMACULATE

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, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIIDERS 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 WITHOUT ANY BLEMISHES ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE FIRST THING TO ELIMINATE IS AN ISSUE WITH DISTORTION. THERE IS ABSOLOUTELY NONE, MEANAING THAT THE ONE PLAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED  WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS BOTH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUDLY MIXED

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION REALLY CANNOT BE FAULTED AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NOT A JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AN NO CLICKS

IF I AM BEING ULTRA PICKY THEN THERE ARE A COPULE OF SECONDS OF VINYL NOISE IN ONE OR TWO RANDOM SPOTS, AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A CLEANER COPY OF THIS OUT THERE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE GATEFOLD SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE BLUE SURFACE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE BLUE SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, UNRUBBED .. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

INCREDIBLE THE SLEEVE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE LITTLE LINES THAT GATHER CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE EITHER ON THE OTHER PERIMETER EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH THE DELICATE BLUE SURFACE , AND A SMIDGEN OF RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST  NEAR PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND APART FROM A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A TINY BIT OF RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ARE ALL THAT IS EVIDENT

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN A SUPERB CONDITION, AGAIN NO CREASING OR CREAS LINES, AND JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE MINT CONDITION INTERIOR PAIR OF SURFACES.WITH A MINT CONDITION BOOKLET PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE SLEEVE

THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE WHITE CONDITION, AND IS TOTALLY UNCREASED

A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS

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