THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM ISLAND LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE,SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING LINES
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
SO THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
SECONDLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
NO VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE A FEW TINY LITTLE DUST POPS/TICS WITH A COUPLE OF ROTATIONAL ONES JUST AS SIDE TWO ENDS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ISLAND SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASE LINES.
THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THERE AREN'T ANY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN UNRUBBED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE, WHICH IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST A TINY PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON CATALOGUE NUMBER AT THE TOP END OF THE SPINE, AND A SLIVER OF A WHITE LINE AT THE BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND UNRUBBED. THREE TINY FINE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. AGAIN NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR
THE PICTURE CARD / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS STILL JET BLACK AND UNSPLIT. A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES A FEW TINY LINES NEAR THE SEAMS
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT !!!
