THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND  THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER

NO CLICKS OR TICS, AND NO VINYL NOISE EITHER

THERE IS NO  AUDIBLE STATIC

I HEARD ZERO!!!  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!     IT IS THAT GOOD

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, GIVE IT A LISTEN AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

 NON LAMINATED FRAGILE  SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE GREEN BASE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED PERFECTLY

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE IS NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR.

THERE ARE ZERO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE  ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ONLY HAVE A LITTLE TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE GREY SURFACE IS THERE, WITH ONLY THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE FRONT EDGE NEAR THE BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN SPECTACULAR CONDITION, AGAIN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE, AND NO LINES AGAINST THE EDGES

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE

THE ORIGINAL HEAVY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION . NO CREASES OR BENDS, JUST A LITTLE FOXING
