THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE PASTEL LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . FAULTLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A MINT VINYL
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HEAR THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO MORE STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE AND NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LIGHTLY TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT,
THERE IS A SMALL PAPER SNAG WHERE A STICKER WAS REMOVED. THIS SITS NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE LETTER 'O'
THERE ARE TWO LITTLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE MAGENTA COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE MORE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER AND A FEW WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE ARE A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE LEADING EDGES AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES ON THE EDGES
THE GLOSSY CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, A PRISTINE THUMB NOTCH AND VERY CLEAN UNMARKED SURFACES
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
