THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. DEEP RICH BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL SURFACE HAIRLINES , ANDA COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE 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
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY HEAVY OR LOUD BACKGROUND CRACKLE .
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO STATIC EITHER OTHER THAN A SPLIT SECOND IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A FEW TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS !!!!!!!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MCNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR.
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEXT TO THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES HAVE A FEW TINY WHITE PIN PRICKS OF RUB ON THE SURFACES AND A SMALL PATCH OF LIGHT RUB TO THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGES HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE REAR SURFACE.
THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS NEAR PERFECT ALL THE WAY ALONG THE SURFACE, AND THE ONLY LITTLE BIT OF RUB OCCURS AT THE BOTTOM TIP, AND A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP,WITHA COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE BOTTOM, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE INNER SLEEVE 1S 100% UNSPLIT AND CREASE FREE. A LITTLE NATURAL EDGE AGE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
