THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE TEXTURED ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION , I COULD ONLY SEE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY 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
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE CLARITY OF SOUND REALLY IS OUTSTANDING.
THERE ARE MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND I HAVE TO DAY IT PLAYS FLAWLESSLY
NO STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE
ALL I DID HEAR WERE THREE OR FOUR TINY LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS EXTREMELY GLOSSY AND FREE FROM SCRATCHES
THE LAMINATE HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL SPECKS OF LIFT ON THE SPINE, BUT NO PEEL OR FLAKE
PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS. NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NINE SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS NO RUB TO EITHER OF THE CORNER TIPS. THERE IS A TINY PATCH OF FLAKE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY ACROSS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. AGAIN PRISTINE COLOURS AND NO RUBBING TO THE ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO LAMINATED AND IN SUPER CONDITION. THERE HAS BEEN SOME EDGING TO THE WHITE SURFACE UNDER THE LAMINATE AROUND THE EDGES
THE POLY LINED ADVERTISING INNER HAS HAD SOME SELLOTAPE ON THE FLIPBACKS FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
