THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK ANDWHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE AREA IS VERY CLEAN AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. 

THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED  ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JST A COUPLE OF MICROSCOPIC WISPY HAIRLINES

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY LP THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.A POWERHOUSE PRODUCTION THAT IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE SILENT!! AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE TO BE HEARD AT ANY POINT.

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN A FEW RANDOM SPECKS OF AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES 

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO DEEP CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND CERTAINLY NO RING WEAR.

THE PALE COLOURED SLEEVE IS ONLY MARRED BY A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT AND BARELY VISIBLE LIGHT BROWN PATCHES ONE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. LIKE I SAY THOUGH THEY ARE NEAR INVISIBLE

ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR.

THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE LIGHT GREY SURFACE FULLY INTACT AND BOTH CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED.

THE BOTTOM EDGEHAS A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF UNDER CARD VISIBLE AND TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS PRISTINE AND RUNS FULLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ,THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB. 

THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. JUST INSIDE OF THE EDGE THERE IS A LITTLE STAIN ON EACH SIDE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO DEEP CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND PRISTINE UN-RUBBED COLOURS. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LIGHT BROWN MOTTLES WHICH ARE LIKE THE FRONT, BARELY VISIBLE

THE POLY LINED IJNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN AN UNSPLIT, UNCREASED CONDITION. TOTALLY PRISTINE WITH UNDAMAGED CORNERS  AND A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
