THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN AND RED EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES NEAR THE HOLE

THE VINYL

GLOSSY OUTSTANDING CONDITION HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC  IN BETWEEN TWO OF THE TRACKS, BUT NOTHING AT ALL WHILST THE MUSIC IS AUDIBLE APART FROM A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN TRACK ONE SIDE TWO AROUND 50 SECONDS FOR A FEW ROTATIONS

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR SIDE ONE AND NEAR MINT FOR SIDE TWO

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE LAMINATE HAS A VERY GLOSSY SHEEN TO IT.

THERE IS ONE LONG CREASE LINE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE WHICH RUNS MOST OF THE WAY ACROSS THE SURFACE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THERE ARE TEN TINY LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, AND SOME LAMINATE LIFT. FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE  NEAR THE OPENING EDGE .

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN AND FULLY LAMINATED. THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE PERFECT AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING WHATSOEVER.

THE SPINE  IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. FULLY LAMINATED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE.THE BOTTOM TIP HAS A LITTLE RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICK AT THE BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE DOES NOT HAVE THE CREASE LINE AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE SO IT IS RESTRICTED TO THE FRONT ONLY. SOME TINY PATCHES OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE AND A FEW MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES

THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. ALSO TOTALLY UNSPLIT. 

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  EXCELLENT PLUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
