THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES, AND A COUPLE OF NON SOUNDING ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE TWO
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 JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
A CRISP AND CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION
THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 1-2 DUST POPS OR TICS WHATSOEVER DURING THE PLAYBACK
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL 100% MINT MINUS!!
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR, GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE ARE SEVEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, JUST THE RIGHT TIPS SLIGHTLY RUBBED
THE LAMINATED SPINE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE TAPERED ENDS HAS A DOT OF RUB TO THE VERY TIPS. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TOP BOTTOM AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP ON THE REAR EDGE WITH A LITTLE LIGHT BURRING TO THE LOWER FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED AND UNDAMAGED FLIPBACKS. THERE IS SOME NATURAL AGEING TO THE WHITE SURFACE AND A LITTLE HANDLING TO THE EDGES.
THE ADVERTISING ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT,AGAIN SOME LIGHT NATURAL AGEING
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS NEAR MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
