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 5-6 SPIDER LINES AROUND IT SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED LIMITED PLAY
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, PLUS NUMEROUS SWIRLY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL WISPS THATS ARE TOTALLY 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
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND THE ONLY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND YOU WILL HEAR WILL BE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT MINUS !!!!
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 FEW SPECKLES OF GREYING JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THERE ARE FOUR LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE NEAR INVISIBLE ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, 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 CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR WITH A COUPLE MORE WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE.
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS, AND THERE ARE A FEW TINY WHITE SCUFF MARKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB AS WELL
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE VERY BOTTOM .
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN TOP CONDITION. AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEXT TO 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 SLEEVENEAR MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
