THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHINGTO SEE. A SUPERB MINT VINYL
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.(due to the profanity on the final track i have not included the soundbite!!)
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION
IN FACT THERE IS NOEMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND BARELY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC
I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHOUGH AS MINT!!!
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE DEEP BLUE COLOUR IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. ONLY IF THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT IS THERE THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE.
THERE ARE ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOURING AGAIN IS UNBLEMISHED APART FROM ONE TINY WHITE SPECK VISIBLE ON THE LETTER 'M' FROM MARIANNE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST A SMALL SEMI CIRCLE OF RING WEAR HEAR THE RIGHT EDGE, AND A SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL BLACK POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT,FLAT AND UNMARKED. NO CREASES OR WRINKLES
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS!!!
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
