THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A  COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND ONE TINY HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE TRACK ONE.

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY VINYL NOISE OR STATIC APART FROM JUST A TINY SECOND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT CONDITION

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SHOREWOOD 1ST ISSUE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY STILL VERY VERY WHITE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND JUST ONE ALMOST INVISIBLE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE MINUSCULE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY UNWORN, WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAVING THE BAREST SPECK OF INVISIBLE RUBBING.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS 100% PERFECTLY LEGIBLE .

THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR, EVEN TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND AMAZINGLY NOT ONE THUMB NAIL NICK WHATSOEVER

THE REAR SURFACE IS LIKE THE FRONT , AGAIN NO CREASES AND AGAIN NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.JUST ONE SMALL MARK JUST BELOW THE RIGHT SHOULDER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE MINT CONDITION PAIR OF INNER PANELS. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE FRESHNESS FROM NEW

THE BLUE AND RED CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE ARE NO SPLITS AT ANY POINT AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR OR RUBBING ANYWHERE.

THERE ARE A FEW TINY LINES NEAR WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL THE SPINE.

THE FAN CLUB INSERT IS ALSO IN AMAZING CONDITION, PURE WHITE UNBLEMISHED CARD WITH JUST A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE CREASE LINES ON THE FRONT SIDE
