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 IS ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS  FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE

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, 

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

 I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

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 .

SO THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND 100% FREE FROM ANY MARKS.

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE 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 OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

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. A FEW DIMPLES ON THE SURFACE BUT 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 .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
