THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CREAM COLOURED WARNER LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. THE BASE COLOUR IS TOTALLY UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS IN MINT CONDITION. I DAYLIGHT THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. IT IS SO CLEAR THAT THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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.
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS ALBUM FOR THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT REPRODUCTION!
THE VINYL PERFORMS EXACTLY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT OF AN UNPLAYED ALBUM SET. MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL NOT AFFECT THE REPRODUCTION IN ANY WAY.
THIS PLAYS TO PERFECTION
NO DISTORTION, NO CRACKLE, NO LOUD CLICKS, NO STATIC, NO VINYL NOISE AND NO DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
BOTH SIDES PLAY TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE MINT!!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. . THERE ARE NO CREASE OR HEAVY CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND JUST THREE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, JUST THOSE TWO SMALL ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE DARK BROWN COLOUR IS THERE RUNNING FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP. ONLY THE TOP RIGHT TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING TO IT
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT WITH JUST TWO TINY WHITE SPECKS AT THE VERY TOP ON THE LEADING EDGE. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT, ACTUALLY BETTER BECAUSE IT HAS NO LINES ON IT WHATSOEVER
THE INNER 'ELIMINATOR' SLEEVE IS IN PERFECT UNSPLIT CONDITION. THE BLACK SURFACE IS MINT AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR WRINKLES. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
FINALLY THE SET INCLUDES A RARE FLYER WITH THE ZZ TOP LOGO ON ONE SIDE AND A DIAGRAM OF ALL THE AVAILABLE ALBUMS BY THE BAND. THIS LIKE THE REST OF THE SET IS IN MINT CONDITION.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
