THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABOUT 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. I DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND IS A VERY HEAVYWEIGHT PRESSING. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS A LITTLE CLOUDINESS ON SIDE TWO, AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.SILENT RUN IN WAX AND SILENT RUN OUT WAX ON BOTH SIDES

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER TO MAR THE PERFORMANCE

THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL LITTLE BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE SILENT PASSAGES, AND THE OCCASIONAL LITTLE DUST POP/TIC

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS VINYL AS NEAR MINT!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, AND AN UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE CLOUT AND BAKER SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

THERE ARE SIX LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ON THE FRONT HAS CREPT ROUND AND HAS FORMED A SMALL BROWN LINE ACROSS THE SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES ON THE SURFACE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH BARELY A CREASE LINE ON IT. AGAIN A LITTLE FOXING

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!

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