THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 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. THERE ARE TWO  SPIDER LINES AROUND 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.

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

NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

THREE OR FOUR DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH CONDITION

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE. THE TEXTURED SLEEVE WAS ONLY IN PRODUCTION FOR A VERY SHORT TIME AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE RUN, HENCE THE -1T MATRIX NUMBERS ON THE VINYL. THE SLEEVE WAS VERY QUICKLY REPLACED WITH THE STANDARD SMOOTH UNLAMINATED SLEEVE. THUS FINDING AND ORIGINAL TEXTURED SLEEVE IS QUITE DIFFICULT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY TOTALLY UNCREASED. THE TEXTURED SURFACE OFTEN SUFFERS FROM RUBBING AND RING WEAR, BUT HERE THE COLOURS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND JUST A COUPLE OF INVISIBLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE MORE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A SMALL SPECK OF WEAR TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAVING THE COLOUR WORN.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, WITH JUST ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION IN THE MIDDLE. THE TYPEFACE IS 99% PERFECTLY LEGIBLE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE DIGITS HAVING A TINY TRACE OF RUBBING.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST ONE OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS OFTEN FOUND 

THE REAR SURFACE IS LIKE THE FRONT TOTALLY IMMACULATE, AGAIN NO CREASES AND JUST THE BARE MAKINGS OF TWO NEAR INVISIBLE TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING TO THE FRONT AND BACK SURFACES NEAR THE SPINE

THE LYRIC INSERT IS ABSOLUTELY UNCREASED AND JUST HAS A FEW TINY GLUE AGE MOTTLES

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
