THE RECORDS<
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED AND UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES ON EACH SIDE, AND ONE SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINE ON TRACK ONE SIDE ONE
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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH SO YOU CAN TAKE A LISTEN BEFORE DECIDING IF YOU WANT TO BID
A SUPERB PERFORMANCE WITH A BRILLIANT LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION . NEAR SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, AND NO LOUD POPS EITHER
THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD AT THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 3 SIDE ONE, AND THEN A COUPLE OF RANDOM TINY SPECKS DURING THE REST OF THE PLAY, PLUS THREE SMALL ROTATIONAL TICS DURING RUBY TURSDAY
NO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED OCTAGONAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
THE ONLY MINOR FLAW ON THE ENTIRE SLEEVE IS A SMALL SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE, AND A MINUSCULE SPECK OF A CHIP ON THE BOTTOM TIP OF THE SPINE
OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LAMINATE LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE EIGHT EDGES INCLUDING THE SPINE, AND NO THUMB LINES ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER
ALL EIGHT EXPOSED EDGES ARE IN TO CONDITION. A TINY SPECK OF BURRING ON THE ONE OPPOSITE THE SPINE, BUT EVEN THIS IS MINIMAL
THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY LAMINATED, WITH PRISTINE TYPEFACE, AND NO SPLITS TO THIS VERY FRAGILE SEAM
THE REAR SURFACE IS IMMACULATE WITH PERFECT LAMINATE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SURFACE, AND LIKE THE FRONT NO LAMINATE LINES ANYWHERE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS AND A PERFECT UNDAMAGED OPENING SET OF EDGES
THE DELICATE INNER SLEEVE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% FREE FROM ANY CREASES
THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
