THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABEL, AND THE WHITE SIDE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR ON THE PICTURE SIDE FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THE WHITE SIDE IS PURE WHITE AND UNMARKED. THE TYPEFACE ON THE TRACK LIST SIDE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE AND SMALL HANDLING LINES, PLUS A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED DULLISH STREAKS ON SIDE ONE

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE 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 IMPECCABLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED  WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND COULDN'T BE ANY CLEARER. EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THERE IS SOME VERY OCCASIONAL STATIC HEARD ONLY IN THE RUN IN/RUN OUT GROOVE IF AT ALL, AND NO MORE THAN THREE MINUSCULE LITTLE DUST TICS, THROUGHOUT THE PLAY

I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT!!!

YOU REALLY NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM TO APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT IT SOUNDS, THEN JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. MOST WILL HAVE SEVERE RING WEAR, OR CREASING. AND THIS IS THE FIRST COPY IN YEARS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS THAT IS IN

WHAT I BELIEVE IS EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION

MOST OF THESE SLEEVES ARE NOW SEVERELY RINGWORN, AND THIS ALBUM IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO LOCATE IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE JET BLACK MATT SURFACE IS STILL MOSTLY UNRUBBED . CERTAINLY NO HEAVY RINGWEAR, JUST A LIGHT DUSTING OF GREYING JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A LITTLE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE., ALSO ONE WHITE LINE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE AMP

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, JUST SEVEN SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND EVEN THESE ARE STILL BLACK IN COLOUR NOT WHITE AS THEY WOULD BE IF THEY WERE DEEP LINES.THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A SMALL DING

THE FOUR  CORNER TIPS HAVE TINY SPECKS OF RUBBING TO THEM

THERE ARE THREE SMALL LINES ON THE TOP EDGE, THREE MORE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE ONLY RECORD IMPRESSION IS JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE ORIGINAL POSTER STICKER IS FIRMLY IN PLACE, UNWORN, AND UNRUBBED.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, APART AGAIN FROM THE VERY TIP ENDS WHICH SHOW A SPECK OF WHITE

THE SPINE  LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS ALMOST FLAT AND SQUARE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY IMPRESSIONS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ALSO HAVE A SPECK OF WHITE ON THEM

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, JUST SOME TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A TINY LITTLE DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP, WHICH MATCHES THE ONE ON THE FRONT

THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FLAT AND NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO CORNER CREASES . THERE IS SOME NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES

THE ALL IMPORTANT POSTER IS STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION.HAS NEVER BEEN PINNED TO A WALL, AND HAS RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
