THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL GREEN COLOURED LABELS ARE NEAR PRISTINE. A FEW LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES ON THE SURFACE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND IT.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES. AND ONE DULL U  SHAPED MARK ON SIDE TWO WHICH IS TOTALLY SURFACE AND NON SOUNDING

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. 

THERE IS A TINY LITTLE BIT OF NATURAL VINYL NOISE HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND RUN IN, BUT NOT DURING THE TRACKS

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE, ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND UNRUBBED. THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THEM

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES

JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR THERE AND RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS CLEAN WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNER LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNMARKED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME GREAT CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, A FEW LIGHT WRINKLES  AND FOXING MOTTLES

THE RED LYRIC INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
