THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL BLUE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT A MARK OR BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED, AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND EVEN UNDER STRONG LIGHT WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES. I AM CERTAIN THIS LP CAN ONLY HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONCE BEFORE IF AT ALL

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVY BARELY FLEXIBLE VINYL IS VERY GLOSSY AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. IN DAYLIGHT IT APPEARS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT THOSE LIGHT AND 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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, THIS IS BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS JUST SUBLIMELY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER

A CRYSTAL CLEAN AND CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ONLY ENHANCED BY THE LACK OF ANY UNWANTED NOISES, AS THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS SUPERB ALBUM

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

THERE IS THE BAREST BIT OF STATIC FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AT THE START OF SIDE ONE, AND THREE BARELY AUDIBLE DULL POPS TOWARD'S THE END OF THE LAST TRACK.

A SUPERB PRESSING AND I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH HAVE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

THE SLEEVE

 

A UNIQUE SLEEVE WHICH IS LAMINATED BUT IN A MATT LAMINATE FINISH

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. THE MATT LAMINATE REALLY ENHANCES THE IMAGE ON THE SLEEVE, AND ITS ALL IN TOP ORDER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE AND BENDS FOLD OR DINGS EITHER

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SLIVERS OF LAMINATE LIFT. ONE DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE, AND A SMALLER BIT ON THE VERY TOP EDGE

THERE ARE TWO SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE TINY CHIP TO THE BOTTOM EDGE

APART FROM THIS THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND RUBBING

THE SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. UNSQUASHED AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND INCREDIBLY ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE IS COMPLETE. NOT ONE JOT OF RUBBING ANYWHERE, AND AGAIN NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES

ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE SHOWING ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS PERFECT, AND UNSPLIT. IT IS FLAT AND UNCREASED AND IN MINT CONDITION

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT

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

GARRY
