THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. UNMARKED DEEP COLOUR, NO DISCOLOURING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, A FEW NON SOUNDING SULL STREAKS ON SIDE TWO, AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE 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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH. AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFF MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THE TINIEST SPECK OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IS A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES
NO STATIC BACKGROUND EITHER EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE ARE FEW RANDOM AND VERY TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS HEARD ON OCCASION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED DELGA PRESS 1ST ISSUE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, NOT A MARK ON IT. THE DELICATE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE FOUR MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, JUST A TINY SPECK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE RIGHT TIPS.
THE SPINE FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK AND SHOWS CLEARLY WHY THIS ALBUM HAS VIRTUALLY NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO NEAR PERFECT. JUST A FEW TINY LINES ON THE PERIMETER EDGES
THE DIE CUT RCA INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED AND FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THIS RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN ANYWHERE NEAR A TURNTABLE. UNSPLIT AND JUST PRISTINE
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS ALSO FLAT AND UNCREASED
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT !!!!!
