THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS AOR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL SURROUNDING THIS HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SEE A FEW TINY TINY HAIRLINES, AND A VERY SLIGHT DULLING TO THE SURFACE IN A FEW PATCHES ON SIDE 2. WHEN LYING FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT LIP TO THE VINYL WHICH CLEARLY DOESN'T AFFECT THE SOUND AS YOU WILL HEAR
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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERECFTION AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT THE AUDIO IS MINT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD WITH PERFECT CLARITY ON THIS OUTSTANDING STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AT ALL, NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO STSIC EITHER, NOR AMAZINGLY ARE THERE ANY DUST POPS THAT I HEARD
IF I WAS TO BE RIDICULOUSLY PICKY, THE THERE IS THE BAREST TOUCH OF VINYL NOISE JUST AS SIDE ONE TRACKS ACROSS THE RUN OUT GROOVE.
THERE IS NO BETTER PRESSING QUALITY THAN THE GRADE I AM GIVING THIS UNTIL TODAY UNPLAYED DISC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
IT IS PURE INVESTMENT GRADE
THE SLEEVE
THIS UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS
- DIRTY GRUBBY SURFACE
- SEVERE RING WEAR
- WORN SPINE AND EDGES
THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS MINT AS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINES OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NONE OF THE SMALL LINES THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. ALL 4 CORNERS ARE PERFECT, AND THE RING WEAR THAT BLIGHTS THIS COVER TOTALLY ABSENT, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE AND FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE SLEEVE HAS JUST NOT BEEN HANDLED. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY WHITE. NO SQUASHING WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE USUALLY RUBBED LETTERING IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT YOU GET BY REMOVONG THE VINYL. I AM CERTAIN THIS DISC HAS ONLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND JUST TWO OF THE TINIEST LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE.
I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A MORE MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE IN MY LIFE
THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO WRINKLING TO THE DELIVATE PASTEL YELLOW SURFACE. THE THUMB NOTCH IS UNDAMAGED AND THE INNER ALSO HAS THE TELLTALE FIRST ISSUE CUT OFF CORNERS.
NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT, AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!! THERE IS NO OTHER WORD TO DESCRIBE IT!!!
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE VAULT COPY OF THIS ALBUM AND SLEEVE, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING EVER!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
