THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN MANTICORE LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT HAS A COUPLE OF VERY MILF FOXING MOTTLES VISIBLE. THE BROWN TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW 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 RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC IN A FEW LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY STATIC TICS  THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH,

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL.THIS IS A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS WHITE AND MOST COPIES WILL SHOW SEVERE HANDLING AND MARKS.

THIS COPY IS STILL BEAUTIFULLY WHITE WITH JUST A LITTLE NATURAL RUB TO THE EDGES WHERE THE LP HAS SAT IN A COLLECTION AND THIS IS NO MORE THAN VERY VERY LIGHT GREYING AT THE EDGES

THERE ARE NO SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE  SPINE AT ALL, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE

THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. ALL OF THE DELICATE WHITE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE  IS IDENTICAL.

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. NO DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION TO THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. NO MARKS, STAINS, SPLITS OR CREASES

THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE LYRIC SHEET IS FLAT AND UNCREASED BUT DOES HAVE FOXING TO THE SURFACE

THE WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE ALSO HAS A LITTLE FOXING BUT IS UNSPLIT

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