THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MAGENTA COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE BY IT

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME ULTRA FINE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL WISPS VISIBLE

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 SUPERBLY 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 EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND THE ONLY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND YOU WILL HEAR WILL BE SOME VERY LIGHT STUFF IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT 

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

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS A VERY DELICATE COLOURING TO THE SURFACE AND THIS HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY PERFECT WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND A SMALL PATCH OF TOP LAMINATE REMOVED WHERE THE PRICE STICKER WAS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE , FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE LONGER HEAVIER ONE ACROSS THE BOTTOM TIGHT CORNER, AND  NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE LIGHT BLUE COLOUR INTACT WITH THE ONLY SPECK OF VERY LIGHT RUB SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND ONE SMALL PIN PRICK IN THE MIDDLE. THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE VERY BOTTOM .

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A THIN WHITE SCUFF LINE NEAR THE SPINE

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS  IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE  SURFACE, JUST A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF AGEING

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

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