THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN 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 JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM SET . IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,AND THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS  AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES A COUPLE AF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES AND A FEW TINY MARKS

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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD RANDOM SECOND OR TWO OF VERY LIGHT STATIC

THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS FROM GRADING HIGHER IS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SOME RANDOM TINY DUST POPS/TICS. I ESTIMATE AROUND 12-13 THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL E.J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE ALL THERE AND THERE IS ONLY A COUPLE OF REALLY LIGHT SHADOWY SPECKS OF GREYING. THE OFTEN REMOVED STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE TOP RIGHT SECTION OF THE SLEEVE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ONLY LIGHTLY RUBBED WITH A FEW WHITE PATCHES ALONG THE SURFACES AND A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE CORNERS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. HERE THE DELICATE BASE COLOUR HAS LIGHTLY RUBBED . SOME SMALL SCUFF ALONG THE LEADING EDGES, AND SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, ALSO THE TYPEFACE IS LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THESE DISCS HAVE REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN VIRTUALLY UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, JUST SOME VERY LIGHT FADING AT THE VERY TOP EDGE, PLUS THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAND PENNED THREE DIGITS IN BIRO IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE FRONT OT BACK

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  NEAR PRISTINE PAIR OF  PANELS.THERE IS ONE BROWN MARK ON THE RIGHT PANEL TOWARD'S THE BOTTOM 

THE BOOK IS UNTOUCHED AND IN MINT!!! CONDITION

THE HUGE POSTER IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES AND HAS CLEARLY NEVER BEEN NEAR A WALL

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVES ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, BUT HAVE BROWNED WITH AGE. ONE OF THE IS TOTALLY FLAT WHIST THE OTHER IS WRINKLES. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS HOWEVER

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS WITH MINT POSTER AND BOOKLET
