THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION , RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY UNRUBBED AND LEGIBLE, AND FINALLY THERE IS NO MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AGAIN SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A ONCE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES 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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH INCLUDING THE RUN IN'S, RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND NOISE.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A TINY LITTLE BIT OF STATIC AT THE VERY START OF SIDE ONE FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS. OTHER THAN THAT JUST A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS THROUGH THE ENTIRE LP.
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO IT, AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB LAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER.

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED AND THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE RED TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BASE COLOUR IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO EITHER TOP OR BOTTOM TIP.
