THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE AND I AM CERTAIN THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED JUST ONCE PLAYED UNTIL TODAY.
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES.
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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
A TRULY MINT REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END. THE SILENT BITS ARE ALL SILENT AND THE MUSIC IS FAULTLESS
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES ANYWHERE. AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC, EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
A TRULY INVESTMENT GRADE VINYL
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED , GATEFOLD FROM HOWARDS PRINTERS
THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A PRIZED COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. DUE WHOLLY TO THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE RUBBING ALL TO EASILY.PLUS THE CHROME EFFECT TYPEFACE ON THE BACK GETTING SEVERELY SCRATCHED.
THIS PARTICULAR SET HAS BEEN HOUSED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER AND IN IN STUNNING ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH AN INNER SLEEVE TO MATCH.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS PRISTINE. THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO FOLD OR BENDS, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS.
INCREDIBLY NOT ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NOR FOR THAT MATTER ANY ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THEM
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AT ANY POINT. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE .A TINY SPECK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THE LP BEING REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND UNBLEMISHED AS THE FRONT. THE CHROME LETTERING AT THE TOP IS JUST MINT!!! AS IS THE TRACKLISTING, AND THE ' FROM THE MAKERS OF' ALBUM LOGOS IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THERE IS A THIN SLIVER OF WHITE VISIBLE NEAR THE LEFT EDGE AND A TINY TRACE OF GREYING IN THE MIDDLE JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER SURFACE. BOTH PANELS ARE MINTMORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SEAM SPLITS, AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD IMPRESSION. TRULY OUTSTANDING.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
