THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN SIDE OF THE LABEL IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUTE SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND HAS THE SAME SUPERB TYPEFACE, AND SIMILARLY THREE TINY LITTLE SPIDER LINES. THERE IS A FACTORY MADE GREY STREAK COMING OUT OF THE SPINDLE HOLE AND STRETCHING ACROSS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LABEL

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A  COUPLE OF THE FINEST ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINES

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 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.

FIRSTLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS LP 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 EITHER

NO VINYL NOISE JUST SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, HEARD ONLY DURING SOME  OF THE LINKING GROOVES.

I AM CERTAIN THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

VERY FLIMSY SLEEVE AND MOST WILL BE FOUND WITH SERIOUS RINGWEAR AND HEAVY CREASING!

THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS ESCAPED THAT, AND IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO FOLD AND NO BENDS, PLUS ALL OF THE DELICATE GREY AND BLACK COLOURING IS STILL THERE AND UNRUBBED

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL DING AND THERE IS SOME SMALL SPECKS OF COLOUR LOSS THERE

THERE ARE FOUR REALLY SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,ONE OF WHICH STRETCHES ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND ONTO THE TOP EDGE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SLIVER OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE TOP EDGE IS THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE RIGHT TIP END

THE BOTTOM EDGE ALSO HAS THE RIGHT TIP RUBBED BUT SLIGHTLY MORE SO THAN THE TOP DUE TO THE SMALL DING

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS IS FLAT CONDITION. TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE AND UNRUBBED AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END HAS A SPECK OF LIGHT RUB. 

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 DOES HAVE A FEW OF THOSE LITTLE LINES DOWN THE SPINE, NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE THOUGH, AND AGAIN JUST A LIGHT RECORD SHAPE OUTLINE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!!

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