THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE UA LABELS ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND BROWN LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. SIDE ONE HAS NUMEROUS STRANDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL HANDING OUTSIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, AND IN DAYLIGHT BOTH LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS, ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE VERY FINE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

THE ODD  SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND UTMOST SILENT PASSAGES

THERE IS A LITTLE NOISE IN A SMALL PART OF SPACE IS DEEP AND AGAIN IN 10 SECONDS OF FOREVER

OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE A FEW ODD RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  NEAR MINT!!!  

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED GOLD OUT 6 PANEL SLEEVE. IT WOULD HAVE GRADED MINT MINUS HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE STICKER REMOVAL ON THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH HAS REMOVED AA LITTLE OF THE ORIGINAL PAPER. SO APART FROM THIS THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AND THUS NO COLOUR LOSS AT ALL. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE FOUR TINY LINES NEXT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EDGES. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE BOTTOM THREE EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH 99% OF THE COLOUR STILL INTACT AND JUST LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNERS. BOTH SPINES ARE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, THEY BOTH HAVE A COUPLE OF WHITE LINES STRETCHING ACROSS THEM, AND THE  BOTTOM TIPS ARE A LITTLE RUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW.

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, A MINT SURFACE. AGAIN NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS

OPENING THE SLEEVE RIGHT OUT SHOWS THAT ALL 12 PANELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION AND THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS

THE ORIGINAL ORANGE INNER SLEEVES ARE INCLUDED AND ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION . PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. NO MARKS OR STAINS ETC

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