THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION . THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND VERY BRILLIANT WHITE AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
LOVELY DISC THAT HAS KEPT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES AND A FEW EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES
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 ALL OF THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR IN FULL WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON. A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
I GUARANTEE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE MAGNIFICENT STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT, NOTHING IT'S JUST REALLY CLEAN AND CRISP ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLING, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS EITHER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT! MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS STILL HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL STORE SHRINKWRAP. TIGHT ACROSS THE SLEEVE BUT NOT TIGHT ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSED ANY SLEEVE BEND. THE MARKS YOU SEE AT THE TOP ARE ON THE SHRINKWRAP NOT THE ACTUAL SLEEVE SURFACE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THERE IS NOT ONE HEAVY CREASE OR CREASE LINE ON IT ANYWHERE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ZERO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
NOT ONE THUMB LINE ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECT FROM TIP TO TIP . UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS PRISTINE!!! TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR PERFECTLY INTACT,AND RUNS UNBLEMISHED FROM TIP END TO TIP END. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
TURNING THE SLEEVE OVER REVEALS A STILL REALLY WHITE EXAMPLE OF THIS REAR SURFACE.
THE CARD PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT !!!!
MY BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
