THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.EVEN A CLOSE EXAMINATION USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS CANNOT REVEAL ANY SPIDER LINES, AND WHATS MORE THERE IS STILL RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS INSIDE THE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

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 AM CONVINCED THAT BUYERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS  FIRST PRESS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAR

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS. NO VINYL NOISE

THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND JUST A FEW REALLY TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO AND JUDGE IT'S QUALITY FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB VINYL MINT MINUS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE LAMINATE ABSOLUTELY SPARKLES

THE MAIN BODY OF THE SURFACE IS IMMACULATE, AND THERE ARE ONLY FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, PLUS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE.

NO LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. EVERY INCH OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY ADHERED AND THE EDGES ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MINT CONDITION

THE SPINE IS ALSO UNRUBBED, ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, ALTHOUGH THERE IS ONE TINY THUMB TO FINGER INDENT AT THE VERY TOP NEXT TO THE TAPERED END.

THE LAMINATE IS ALL PERFECTLY ADHERED, AND THERE IS NO PEEL OR FLAKE AND EVEN THE TOP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH JUST THE VERY LIGHTEST BIT OF BURRING TO THE BACK EDGE AT ONE POINT

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND THAT SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT!!

 

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