THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL BLUE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT 1 MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE DARK BLUE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE
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 WITH ALL OF THE LP'S I LIST AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES. NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD ONE TINY POP WHICH WAS ON THE RUN OUT GROOVE AFTER THE FINAL TRACK OF SIDE TWO HAD COMPLETED
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS A NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, NOT A MARK ON IT. THERE ARE NO BENDS OR CREASES ANYWHERE, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS 100% INTACT AND UNRUBBED.
NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS
THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR STILL SHOWING MOST OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURING
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE IS A COUPLE FO TINY PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE THROUGH THE COLOUR ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND A TINY SPECK ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THETYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP. AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THEM. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A VERY CLEAN AND NEAR MINT PAIR OF PANELS
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN PERFECT UNSPLIT CONDITION. LIGHT GLUE AGEING TO THE TOP
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
- GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
