THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE ON THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A FEW ROTATIONS, AND IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO DUST POPS WHATSOEVER JUST 2-3 NATURAL STATIC TICS
THIS ONCE PLAYED ALBUM EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN THE SPINE IS 99% FREE OF EVEN THE SMALL LINES. JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC ONE NEAR THE TOP. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE
THE REAL PROOF LIES ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHERE THE COLOUR REMAINS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING EVEN OTHER THAN A TINY LITTLE BIT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NR RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PAIR OF INNER PANELS. JUST A LITTLE NATURAL FOXING WHERE THE LP HAS SAT UNMOLESTED FOR SO LONG
THE PLAIN WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MORE THAN A LITTLE GLUE AGEING AT THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
