THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE, THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE! NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPER VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND SHOWING THAT THE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY SOME LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES. THERE ARE ALSO SOME VERY VERY LIGHT DUST POPS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARD
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE
THE LAMINATE ON THIS SLEEVE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AT ALL
THERE ARE JUST FOUR MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE VERY EDGE OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND JUST ONE THUMB LINE ABOUT THREE INCHES INTO THE SLEEVE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE LAMINATE IS JUST PERFECT
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ONE FEW FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE FREE FROM ANY RUBBING, AND ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC WHITE DOT ON EACH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE, JUST BA COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF ROUGHNESS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS INCREDIBLE AS THE FRONT. ALL OF THE LAMINATED SURFACE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND STILL VERY WHITE. NO SEAM SPLITS AND JUST A TINY BIT OF WRITING ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS !!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
