THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDE IS VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN, THERE ARE JUST 3-4 VERY VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY CLEAN. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME DULL AREAS WHERE THE DISC HAS SAT UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN
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 AS I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.
JUST A TINY BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SOME OF THE QUIETER SPOTS AND A FEW REALLY TINY LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THIS SLEEVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE RING WEAR DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE CARD USED. THIS COPY IS FREE FROM ANY RING WEAR AND INCREDIBLY NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER
THERE ARE JUST FIVE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,AND ONE SMALL THUMB LINE.
NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT FROM TIP TO TIP ON BOTH EDGES
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS NO WEAR AT ALL AND THIS EVEN INCLUDES THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH TWO TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE. THIS SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE
THE THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT, JUST ONE TINY LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER AND A COUPLE OF LINES RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT, AND UNWRINKLED CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS. IT IS THAT GOOD!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
