WELL THE 80'S ROCK COLLECTION IS NOW FINISHED, AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME OUTSTANDING WINS OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS. DURING THE TIME THE 80'S COLLECTION WAS BEING LISTED I HAVE AMASSED A HUGE BATCH OF VINYLS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND CAN NOW FINALLY RELEASE THEM TO MY CUSTOMERS HERE ON EBAY, SO LOOK OUT FOR MORE MINT, MINT MINUS AND UNPLAYED VINYL OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND BLACK EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE ZERO!!! SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE NONE TO BE SEEN
I COULD FEEL AND HEAR RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE AS I PLACED IT ONTO MY TURNTABLE. ALSO THE VINYL WAS VERY TIGHT WHEN PLACED ONTO MY SPINDLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A TRULY MINT DISC
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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION. NO DISTORTION AT ALL
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE, THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC, A TINY BIT MORE AS EACH SIDE STARTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF THE DELICATE SILVER COLOUR BEING WORN AND THEREFORE MANY COPIES THAT YOU WILL SEE LOOK SHABBY. THIS COPY HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER FROM NEW AND HAS PROTECTED THE VERY DELICATE SILVER BASE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE BEAUTIFUL SILVER FOIL APPEARANCE IS JUST NEAR PERFECT WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES AROUND THE EDGES.
SO THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND 100% FREE FROM ANY MARKS.
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD OUTLINE IF ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100%% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THE SILVER RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP . EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS AGAIN 100% INTACT EVEN DOWN TO THE TIP ENDS, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. 1ST ISSUE INNERS HAVE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH.
THIS ONE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION WITH JUST ONE TINY TEAR TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.
TOTALLY WHITE WITH NO HANDLING MARKS WHATSOEVER. NO CREASE MARKS AND AMAZINGLY NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TOP OPENING NOTCH ALONG THE TOP
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
I AM CERTAIN THIS LP AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
