THE RECORDS<
THE LABELS
THE 2 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRITINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL AND I DO MEAN SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATION THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
IMMACULATE AS NEW GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT DISC. THIS COULD NOT BE ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGNAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
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 RECORDEDTHE WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE PLACING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED 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.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY OR CONTINUOUS BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER, ALL THAT YOU HEAR IS THE FANTASTIC REPRODUCTION.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, OTHER THAN A LITTLE STATIC IN A FEW SILENT PASSAGES
NO CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THATS ALL
SO I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS REPRODUCTION AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION. THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON IT. NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES OR BENDS .
AMAZINGLY ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE SMALL LINES THAT USUALLY FORM NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MINIMAL SHELF RUB
THE SPINE HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS. IT IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
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 MOSTLY WHITE BUT DOES HAVE A VERY LIGHT TINGE OF YELLOWING THROUGH AGE, ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES. THIS SLEEVE WAS MADE OF VERY STIFF CARD, BUT SLIGHTLY MORE POROUS THAN MOST AND I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A PURE WHITE REAR SURFACE ON ANY COPY OF THIS THAT I HAVE HANDLED, AS THIS WHITE SURFACE IS PRONE TO THIS YELLOWING, HOWEVER THIS ONE IF FAR SUPERIOR THAN MOST I HAVE SEEN.
THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE ONCE AGAIN SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED, AS IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM CREASES, CREASE LINES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SPLITS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
