THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ONLY 5-6 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL SURFACE HANDLING LINES
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.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE. ONE TINY TIC AS THE FIRST WORD IS SUNG ON SIDE ONE TRACK ONE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE VERY OCCASIONAL SPECK OF STATIC HEARD IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY RANDOM STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT / UNLAMINATED PATENT PENDING SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.THE LAMINATE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNDAMAGED CONDITION,
THERE ARE SIX TINY LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP AND EIGHT ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, FOUR THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS NEAR PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. UNBLEMISHED ENDS, AND PERFECT TYPEFACE, JUST A TINY BEND ON THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE NICKS TO THE EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE GOLD STERO STICKER FIRMLY IN PLACE AND A CLEAN WHITE SURFACE THAT SHOWS ONLY MILD NATURAL AGEING AND HANDLING
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS A TINY SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
