THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM ONE OR TWO 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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY HEAVYBACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD CLICKS
NO STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE
JUST 1-2 INSIGNIFICANT TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE , AND INCREDIBLY JUST TWO MINUSCULE ONES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP HAS A TINY DING AND SCUFF ON IT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS.
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE, AND AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS A FCATORY IMPRESSION LINE RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SURFACE AS SEEN IN THE PICS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE UNSPLIT, UNCREASED CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
