THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE blue LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAVE USED A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND THERE ARE JUST 4-5 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ITS JUST NEW LOOK AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AND I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. EVEN MORESO WITH CLASSICAL VOLUMES I WOULD SUGGEST.
I PLAY THE LP'S ON AN OPEN DECK WHICH CAN ATTRACT DUST TO THE SURFACE WHILST PLAYING AND MAY CAUSE THE OCCASIONAL LITTLE STATIC NOISE WHICH WHEN PLAYED A SECOND TIME ISN'T THERE
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND SECONDLY THE OUTSTANDING LOUD AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS A CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS JUST SOME AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, PLUS A FEW RANDOM TINY STATIC TICS HERE AND THERE
I HEARD ONE TINY POP ON SIDE TWO
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT +++!!! FOR IT'S PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WITH FLIPBACKS
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS ONE TINY PIECE OF THE CARD TORN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE FIVE TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP WHICH I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED WITH THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER.
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. PERFECTLY LAMINATED, FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. BOTH TIPS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THEM.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. BOTH FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED AND UNMARKED AND UNDAMAGED.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS.
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
