THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED, THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES ROUND THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE PLAY THIS VINYL HAS RECEIVED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AND A LIGHT PATCH CLOUDINESS TO PARTS OF THE DISC (ALL NON SOUNDING). THERE IS A TINY HANDLING LINE ON THE VERY OUTER RIM OF SIDE ONE WHICH CAUSES ONE TIC IN THE SILENT BIT BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS
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, 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 VINYL PLAYS TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL. ONE TINY TIC AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IN THE RUN IN GROOVE TO SIDE ONE
NO VINYL NOISE EITHER, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES
I AM CERTAIN THAT IS DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES EITHER, JUST TWO TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES,NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THE TOP EDGE HAS A MINUSCULE SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE, AND A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP END, BUT IS OTHERWISE PERFECT. THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY HAS A DOT OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP.
THE SPINE IS WAFER THIN THE BLACK HOWEVER IS INTACT AND ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND FULLY LEGIBLE. THE SURFACE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP SHOWING AGAIN JUST WHY THIS LP HAS BEEN BARELY PLAYED. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE BACK EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE
THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO THE DELICATE SEAMS.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
