THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS.THE PARLOPHONE SIDE HAS A PERFECT DARK BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WITH THE GOLD LETTERING BEING PRISTINE, UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE, AGAIN WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE
THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE ON EITHER SIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW CAREFULLY THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED, BARELY PLAYED
THE VINYL
SUPERBLY GLOSSY AS NEW DISC WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND LOOK FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY LINES TO 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 RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 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 MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD HOW IT WAS INTENDED. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND POPS, JUST A PURE CLEAN SOUND, AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS ME GRADING THIS MINT IS THE BAREST TRACE OF LIGHT STATIC ON THE INTRO TO EACH SIDE, AND ALSO DETECTED IN A COUPLE OF THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES I.E THE LINKING GROOVES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION.
THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND THUS THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR BENDS OR RINGWEAR. JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN , ANOTHER SIGN THAT THIS HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT.NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PRISTINE AS THE FRONT IN EVERY WAY
THE LYRIC CARD INNER SLEEVE WITH THE ROUNDED CORNERS, AND LARGE THUMB NOTCH, IS IN MINT CONDITION. PERFECTLY FLAT, NO CREASES, AND NO SEAM SPLITS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
