THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS

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 IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM SOME WISPY HARLINES, AND A FEW 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 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 BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE QUIETEST OF PASSAGES AND THE LINKING GROOVES, AND THEN ONLY WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE TO YOUR SPEAKERS AS I AM WHEN I TYPE THIS OUT. MOVING TO NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE AND EVEN THIS MINOR VINYL NOISE IS NOT HEARD.I DID HEAR TWO OR THREE TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WHICH HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY THE COLOURS REMAIN UNRUBBED. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE INVISIBLE MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE WHATSOEVER ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST THE SAME WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING AT THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR UNRUBBED EVEN AT THE TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RING WEAR TO THE DELICATE BROWN SURFACE , BUT IT IS IN MINT CONDITION, WITH JUST THREE B=VERY SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL LP INFORMATION INSERT IS INCLUDED AND IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, WITH ONLY A VERY LIGHT WRINKLE TO THE TOP EDGE STOPPING A FULL MINT GRADE

THE RCA DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOP UNSPLIT CONDITION , WITH JUST A LITTLE AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
