THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 3-4 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN WITH JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES ALSO PRESENT
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE ODD SPECK OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, A LITTLE OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, AND A FEW DUST POPS / STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT!!!
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER. FOUR SHARP AND SQUARE CORNERS
THERE ARE TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% MINT. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRESENT , AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM . PERFECT TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND PRISTINE TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME UNCREASED CONDITION
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT, ONE LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINE BUT THATS ALL
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
