  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. AND A COUPLE OF TINY DULL PATCHES ON THE RUN OUT GROOVE

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 TWO ROTATION TINY SCUFF NOISE AS THE SIDE ONE FADES OUT, AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS CONDITION

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS, YOU DON'T JUST HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE BLACK BORDER WHICH OFTEN IS FOUND IN VERY POOR CONDITION IS IN PERFECT 'BLACK ' STATE

THE COLOURS ARE ALL RETAINED BEAUTIFULLY AND THERE IS NO RUB OR SHELF WEAR. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THERE IS THE TINIEST DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY UNWORN, WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAVING A PIN PRICK OF RUB, OTHERWISE A PERFECT BLACK SURFACE ALL THE WAY ACROSS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS 100% PERFECTLY LEGIBLE . THE BLACK COLOUR IS IMMACULATE

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 SPINE AND TOP EDGE

THE PLAIN WHITE DIECUT 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, AND ONE LIGHT CORNER CREASE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE  MINT MINUS !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
