THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDES ARE VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDES ARE VERY WHITE AND HAVE NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN, THERE ARE JUST 8-10 VERY VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS RECEIVED LIMITED PLAY
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY CLEAN. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY HANDLING LINES WHEN THE LP IS TILTED INTO THE SUNLIGHT, AND A FEW MORE WISPY LINES AND A COUPLE MORE HANDLING LINES WHEN THE LP IS OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION
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 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
SIDE ONE PLAYS TO AN EXCELLENT PLUS GRADE WITH JUST THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES
SIDE 2 HAS A LTTLE MORE BACKGROUND IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIDE AND GRADES EXCELLENT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND FLIPBACKED NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
THIS SLEEVE IS ALWAYS FOUND IN VERY POOR CONDITION. I HAVE SEEN ONLY A FEW THAT STACK UP BETTER THAN THIS ONE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THIS SLEEVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE RING WEAR DUE TO THE FLIMSINESS OF THE CARD USED. THIS ONE HAS ONLY THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE,AT THE VERY TOP OF THE COVER, AND ONLY THEN WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.
THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND OTHER THAN THIS ONE MINUSCULE ONE NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND A ROW OF LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
THE LAMINATE ABSOLUTELY SPARKLES AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
ALSO WORTH A MENTION IS THAT THE FOUR CORNERS ARE IN VERY SQUARE AND UNRUBBED STATE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT AND RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN IMMACULATE MINT CONDITION. INCREDIBLY NOT ONE JOT OF FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED EVEN DOWN TO THE TIPS AT EITHER END, WHICH ARE TAPERED
THE REAR SURFACE ALWAYS GETS GRUBBY, BUT HERE IS ONE THAT HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL PROTECTED FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS REMAINED LARGELY WHITE WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADE OF HANDLING TO SOME OF THE OUTER POINTS
THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL IMMACULATE AND HAVE NO DAMAGE. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
FINALLY THE CORRECT BLACK DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. A COUPLE OF TINY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS TO THE DIR CUT HOLE, AND A COUPLE OF NIPS TO THE VERY TOP EDGE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
