THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND YELLOW  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 BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THE RECORDS GLEAM 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. THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY 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. 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 SET 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 ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT .

THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL NATURAL VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN THE RUN IN AND A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES. NOT IN ANY OF THE TRACKS

I HEARD A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND ON SIDE TWO TRACK TWO

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

THIS IS A SUPERB VINYL AND FULLY DESERVES A MINT GRADE

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

AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO FOLDS, BENDS, OR HEAVY CREASES 

THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL DING AND RUB. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CHIP TO THE COLOUR JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE BY THE CHAIN

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE THOUGH

THE TOP REAR EDGE HAS PERFECT UN-RUBBED COLOURS , WHEREAS THE FRONT EDGE HAS SOME WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE, AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM FRONT EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER. THE REAR EDGE HAS JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER.

THE SPINE  IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE WHITE AND YELLOW TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. SLIGHT RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT PAIR OF INNER PANELS. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.

THE  PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND STILL VERY WHITE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE EX+++

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