THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURE WHITE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE ON EITHER ON SIDE OF THE LABEL,
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER A STRONG SPOTLIGHT, THERE ARE SOME VERY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE, MAINLY ON SIDE ONE
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 COMPLETE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE BIDDING. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY CRACKLE OR CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ONE OR TWO SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
NO DUST POPS JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE STATIC TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
JUST A PERFECT STEREO REPRODUCTION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE SLEEVE
A VERY DELICATE NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE NO FOLDS OR BEANS, NOR ARE THERE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES. THERE ARE TWO RECTANGULAR PRESSURE MARKS ON THE RIGHT HAND EDGE OF THE COVER, AND A FEW PRESSURE DIMPLES NEAR THE LEFT EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE
THERE ARE FIVE TINY LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRACE OF SHELF WEAR WITH PERFECT SMOOTH COLOUR AND NO BLEMISHES TO THE CORNERS
THE REAR SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE OF ANY SQUASHING. LOVELY SMOOTH UNBLEMISHED COLOURS THAT RUN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FREE FROM SPLITS OR CREASES AND STILL PERFECTLY WHITE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
