THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. IT IS JUST UNPLAYED!!
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 AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS POWERFUL AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS
CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT!
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1 MINUSCULE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.
THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT IS A MUSEUM GRADE VINYL AND SLEEVE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ' SENOL ' SINGLE SLEEVE
A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN GREAT COLLECTIBLE CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE WHITE/CREAM SURFACE THAT SHOWS EVERY LAST BLEMISH OR FINGERMARK.
HERE IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND HAS REMAINED IN MINT CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.NO BLEMISHES TO THE DELICATE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE AS GOOD AS THIS COPY.
NO CREASES AND NO CREASE LINES, AND INCREDIBLY NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE.
NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND DEFINITELY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT AND PRISTINE, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS OF THE ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE INCREDIBLE STATE THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE FRONT. ONCE AGAIN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS SURFACE. NO CREASES , LINES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE SLEEVE IS JUST SUPERB!!
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION WITH NO CREASES OR MARKS. THIS AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
