THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BURBANK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE MARK ON THEM. YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PICTURES JUST HOW IMMACULATE BOTH SIDES ARE. AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE, NOT EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS CAN I SEE ANY
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED AL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER, NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST WISPY HAIRLINES. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW VERY FINE EMBEDDED DULL LINES
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 ALBUM 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
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB
AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THE ONLY LIGHT LOW LEVEL NOISE I HEARD WAS A LITTLE NATURAL EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
CAN I SAY THAT THERE IS NO STATIC AT ANY POINT. WELL I THINK ANY RECORD WILL HAVE A SPECK DEPENDING ON WHERE THE CONSTANT MAGNETIC ATTRACTION OF DUST TO THE VINYL, BUT REALLY IF YOU DO HEAR ANY IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY TO BE ABSENT THEN NEXT PLAY AFTER ANOTHER CLEAN.
I PROBABLY HEAR ONE MAYBE TWO OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.
AN INCREDIBLE VINYL THAT PERFORMS TO A VERY HIGH GRADE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED BUT TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVEA TRULY MINT SLEEVE OTHER THAN THE EXPORT NOTCH ON THE TOP EDGE
IT IS STILL IN THE FACTORY SHRINK-WRAP
VERY HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE TEXTURED BLACK SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY BADLY WORN ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK, AND SHOWS UP EVERY CREASE LINE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE DELICATE AND EASILY WORN BLACK BORDER IS INTACT. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE ON THIS THIN COVER.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE
THE SHRINK WRAP IS TIGHT AND WITHOUT THE LP IN THE SLEEVE IS BENDS A LITTLE SO I HAVE PLACED A CARD STIFFENER INSIDE THE SLEEVE TO ALLOW ITS SHAPE TO BE RETAINED
NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS UNRUBBED WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR FULLY INTACT AND RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, EVEN THE TIPS ARE PERFECT. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS A IDENTICAL.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE. NOT ONE SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING ANYWHERE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECT.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND A PERFECTLY TEXTURED FINISH
THE ORIGINAL BURBANK LOSS LEADERS INNER SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, VERY CLEAN AND UNCREASED, TOTALLY PRISTINE IN FACT. IT IS THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVEI ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GRADE THIS MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
