THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO SWAN SONG LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE WINGS ARE STILL PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED. THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL JUST OUTSIDE OF THE HOLE ON SIDE TWO

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE IS JUST TWO NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN.

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD 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 LP SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE  NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, AND AON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES.

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE WITH CARD SHAPED INNER

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE RICH  COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER.

THERE ARE TWO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. FOUR SMALL ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAT THE OPENING EDGE.

THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A TINY BIT OF WEAR.

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER , WITH JUST A SPECK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE LIGHT SHELF WEAR, AND LIGHT RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE ITSELF IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS A TINY DENT ON THE TOP EDGE WHERE ONE OF THE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE SITS, AND THERE IS A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST LIKE THE FRONT WITH THREE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE

THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT. THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND THE ONLY LIGHT BLEMISH IS A TINY NICK TO THE TOP EDGE

 I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!

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