THE RECORD

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 ARE 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES 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 EVEN PLACED UNDER A MAGIFYING LED HALO I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT 2-3 VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE SLIGHTLY MORE PRONOUNCED HANDLING LINE ON TRACK 1, SIDE TWO WHICH HAD NO IMPACT ON THE AUDIO

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 EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS

NO MORE THAN THE ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN  A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE STATIC TICS OR POPS

A TRULY MAGNIFICENT PLAYTHROUGH AND ONE THAT GRADES MINT MINUS 

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND IN GLEAMING CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP

THE LAMINATE IS FLAWLESS. NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THREE VERY TINY THUMB LINES AGAINST THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. JUST A DOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM CORNER TIP ENDS

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED, ENDS HAVING NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER, AND WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, PLUS ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT. NO SQUASHING OF THE SPINE AT ALL EITHER

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 EXACT SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
