THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN CHRYSALIS LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING WHY THIS IS THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE . THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, BARELY A WISPY HAIRLINE AND ONE VERY FINE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE 2
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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I 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 IS TRULY A SUPERB AUDIO REPRODUCTION, FROM THIS VINYL
THERE IS NOT A JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON EITHER SIDE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND BARELY ANY VINYL NOISE FOR WHICH ISLAND / CHRYSALIS ALBUMS ARE INFAMOUS FOR. IF YOU CAN HEAR ANY VINYL NOISE ITS ONLY IN THE VERY QUIETEST SPOTS AND THEN ONLY A FEW INSTANCES THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
NO CLICKS JUST A BOUT 3 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, OR HEAVY CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING AT ALL, AND NO RINGWEAR.

THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO SHELF WEAR AND ONLY THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS SHOW THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, WITH JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND A TINY ONE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT. TWO LITTLE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
