THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE RED TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT. THE STUDIO DISC WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHT HAS SOME EMBEDDED DULL MOTTLING WHICH HAS NO EFFECT ON THE SOUND, PLUS NUMEROUS LIGHT WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES, THE LIVE ALBUM HAS NO EMBEDDED DULL MOTTLING AND FAR FEWER WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE BUT WHAT YOU WILL GEAR IS SOME LIGHT LOW LWVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A FEW TINY STATIC TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS EX+

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT/ IF YOU ANGLE IS INTO THE LIGHT YOU CAN MAKE OUT A NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER OUTLINE WHERE SOME ONE HAS USED THE SLEEVE AS A REST WHILST THEY WROTE ON A PIECE OF PAPER

THE TWO PICTURE INNER SLEEVES ARE THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN NICE CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND ONLY SOME SIGNS OF HANDLING TO THE WHITENESS
