THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.
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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS UNPLAYED ALBUM BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND BARELY A SPECK OF STATIC ANYWHERE, A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND THATS ABOUT IT!
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. THERE ARE THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ABSOLUTELY NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
ALL FOUR OF THE FOUR TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE. THE TOP TWO ARE BOTH 100% FULLY LAMINATED AND UNBLEMISHED IN ANY WAY. THE BOTTOM TWO ARE UNLAMINATED AND ALSO PRISTINE. ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE CORNERS
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FINGER TO THUMB CRIMP RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP. THE LAMINATE IS ALL THERE AND UNDAMAGED. ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END HAS A SPECK OF RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS, SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE MINT STATE THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND NOT ONE LAMINATE LINE ANYWHERE, EVEN BY THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS,
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
