THE RECORDS
THE
LABELS
THE MATT 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 UN-RUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM ABLE TO SEE ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE 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.
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 STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE MINT CONDITION
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED 1ST ISSUE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION
THERE IS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND THREE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RETAINED BEAUTIFULLY AND THERE IS NO RUB OR SHELF WEAR. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY UNWORN, WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAVING A LITTLE RUB, AND A FEW PIN PRICKS RANDOMLY ON THE EDGES.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS 100% PERFECTLY LEGIBLE .
THERE IS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF 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 ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY LINES AGAINST THE EDGES
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 PLAIN WHITE RCA INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE DIE CUT IS PERFECT AND THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS. THERE IS A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
