THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR 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 JUST 3-4NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS
AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN. SIMPLY STUNNING DISC
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. THIS IS SOMETHING I ADD TO THE AUCTIONS AND ALTHOUGH IT TAKES EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT, I BELIEVE IT'S WELL WORTH IT.
IT HAS LONG BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A LOTTERY WHEN IT COMES TO RECORDS. SO MANY INEXPERIENCED SELLERS DESCRIBE RECORDS AS MINT, ONLY FOR THEM TO BE ANYTHING BUT, AND THIS IS A VALID ARGUMENT THAT BUYERS WILL LEVY AGAINST SELLERS. FAIR ENOUGH, BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ENTIRE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO BID.
AS YOU KNOW I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A TOP SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER. NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE STUFF ON ODD OCCASIONS , MAINLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES OR MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, SIT BACK AND TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
NEAR MINT MACNEILL SINGLE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND UNMARKED OR STAINED. THIS NON LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND INCREDIBLY JUST TWO MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE BARELY VISIBLE ONE ON EACH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEE RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP OF THE COVER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 1005 FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE BLACK TOP EDGE HAS COLOUR THAT FULLY RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP, AND THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR THE WHITE BOTTOM EDGE
THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY FLAT WITHOUT ANY FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING. THERE IS JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH WHERE ONE OF THE TWO LINES NEAR THE SPINE HAS JUST CREPT ROUND ONTO THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THEM
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR RING WEAR. JUST THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED. IT HAS BROWNED QUITE BADLY ABOUND THE PERIMETER EDGES, BUT IS UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
