THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. . THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE CREAMY WHITE AREAS ARE BEAUTIFULLY WHITE, AGAIN NO MAN MADE MARKS, THERE US JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I HAVE BECOME CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO 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 IT DOES SOUND.
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
SEMI-LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, AND NO LIGHT ONES EITHER. THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A REALLY TINY SCUFF AND THERE IS THE ABSOLUTE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE COLOURS ARE ALL IN SUPERB UNRUBBED STATE
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY HEAVY SHELF WEAR, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE COVER HAS BEEN PRESERVED WELL FROM NEW. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IS THE ONLY AREA THAT HAS A LITTLE RUBBING
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AND JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE TOP TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THIS YOU CAN TELL THE RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB STATE AS THE FRONT.
THE ROUND CORNERED LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, OR CREASES AND PERFECTLY WHITE
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
