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 NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT WHATSOEVER, AND AS I TRIED TO PLACE THE LP ONTO MY TURNTABLE I COULD FEEL AND HEAR RESIDUAL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE HOLE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY TIGHT OVER THE SPINDLE
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. THE VINYL HAS THAT FEEL ABOUT IT WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE THAT YOU ONLY GET WITH AN UNPLAYED 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. 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 TRACE OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES. NO STATIC BACKGROUND ANYWHERE THOUGH
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 MINT MINUS !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE GLOSSY SURFACE HAS JUST A FEW LIGHT SPECKLES OF GREYING AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES
THERE ARE JUST FOUR TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR INTACT, WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNERS LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE ONLY COLOUR LOSS APPEARS WITH A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE SCUFFS TO THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND A PIN PRICK OF RUB AT EACH TIP
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. JUST A A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE SURFACE
THE RARE MERCHANDISE SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
