THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION. THE PURPLE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE CENTRE SECTION IS ALSO WHITE AND UNMARKED. THERE ARE 4-5 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW.
THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE VINYL AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A WISPY HAIRLINES
WE 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.
WE HAVE RECORDED ALL OF THE LP
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 IT SOUNDS.
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
ALL I HEARD WAS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
BEAUTIFUL LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE.
THERE ARE JUST FOUR REALLY TINY LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT
THE LAMINATE SHOWS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY DING
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE IS PERFECT ACROSS ALL FOUR SURFACES AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A TINY BIT OF PEEL OF THE LAMINATE JUST OVER THE WORD PURPLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. FIVE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE NON LAMINATED INNER SURFACE WITH UNMARKED PANELS.
THE ORIGINAL FOLD UP POSTER IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION WITH JUST ONE SMALL CREASE LINE ON THE RIGHT EDGE FIRTS FOLD FROM THE TOP
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
