THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE ORANGE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE DELICATE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE IS ALSO UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. DAYLIGHT REVEALS A MINT UNMARKED VINYL, AND IT'S ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THAT SOME SWIRLY WISPY HAIRLINES CAN BE SEEN
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 DECIDED WITH ALL LISTINGS WHERE PRACTICAL TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. THE EXTRA TIME THIS TAKES ME TO COMPLETE THIS WILL I HOPE ENABLE POTENTIAL BIDDERS TO WANT TO COME BACK TO LISTEN TO MORE OF MY ALBUMS UP FOR AUCTION
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES. THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FAULTLESS. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE LP YOU WILL HEAR A FAULTLESS SOUND WITH A CRISP AND CLEAR SOUND UNITERRUPTED BY ANY CRACKLES.
THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAY THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW ODD SECONDS OF LIGHT STATIC LIKE NOISE, AND THE VARY OCCASIONAL LITTLE DUST POP
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS MACNEILL UK SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE COVER. THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. FIRSTLY AL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE. NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND CERTAINLY NO DINGS. THE THREE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ARE BARELY VISIBLE, A REALLY SUPERB LOOKING COVER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND REMAIN UNRUBBED.THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER FROM NEW AND THIS IS WHY IT IS IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION
THE FLIMSY SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS , AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A VERY VERY SLIGHT BIT OF THUMB TO FINGER SQUASHING, BUT THIS IS VERY MILD INDEED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND ONLY HAS ONE THUMB NAIL NICK
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY CREASING
ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNSPLIT
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
