THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 6 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN. I CANNOT ACTUALLY SEE ANY SPIDER LINES ON ANY OF THE THREE DISCS,

THE VINYL

THE THREE DISCS GLEAM LIKE POLISHED MIRRORS. THEY HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT ALL THREE DISCS LOOK FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY 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 3 LP SET AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, JUST BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LPS PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS. 

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER ON ANY OF THE LP'S, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THEY HAVE HAD, WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

I HEARD NO MORE THAT AN COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC DURING THE PLAY-THROUGH WITH A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS ON SIDE FOUR

ONE MINUSCULE DUST POP DURING ALL SIX SIDES

A SUPERB FIRST PRESS SET THAT PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE EASILY

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO IT, AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

WELL A BOX, NOT A SLEEVE. HOW HARD IS THIS TO FIND IS COLLECTIBLE CONDITION? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FIRSTLY YOU HAVE MOST OF THESE BOXES WITH TORN CORNERS AND SECONDLY THE POROUS SURFACE IS USUALLY VERY BADLY SOILED.

THIS ONE HAS ALL EIGHT CORNERS ON BOTH BASE AND LID IN IMMACULATE UNTORN CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN . THE POROUS ORANGE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS OTHER THAN A SMALL PATCH OF STICKER REMOVAL RESIDUE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND UNRUBBED STILL DEEP ORANGE ON ALL SIDES, AND NOT GRUBBY LIKE MOST COPIES

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE PRISTINE, AND THE SPINES ARE ALSO UNMARKED. THE LEFT SPINE WITH THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND AGAIN TOTALLY UNRUBBED

REMOVING THE LID REVEALS A PRISTINE UNDAMAGED BASE, AGAIN THE ACTUAL ORANGE UNDERSURFACE IS  PRISTINE CONDITION,

THE ALBUMS COME HOUSED INSIDE THREE VERY VULNERABLE ROUGH TEXTURED INNER SLEEVES THAT IN MOST CASES HAVE SPLIT ALONG THE SEAMS. ON THIS COPY HOWEVER ALL THREE INNERS ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION.AND ALL THREE ARE TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED

I HAVE REMOVED THE LP'S AND PLACED THEM IN POLY LINED INNERS TO ENSURE THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF THE ORIGINALS SUSTAINING ANY DAMAGE AT ALL

THE HUGE 64 PAGE BOOK IS ALSO IN MINT MINUS CONDITION. IT LOOKS TO HAVE  BEEN THUMBED THROUGH JUST ONCE 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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