THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES THE LP SHOW A FEW VERY FINE 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, AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE OR EVEN STATIC

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 4 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE ORIGINAL SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL.THIS SLEEVE CAN SUFFER BADLY FROM RING WEAR AND RECORD SHAPE, THUS COLOUR LOSS, BUT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND IS AS CLEAN AS YOU COULD HOPE TO FIND!

THERE ARE THREE  MINUSCULE NEAR THE SPINE,USUALLY THESE WOULD BE WHITE LINES WHERE THE UNDERCOLOUR OF THE SLEEVE SHOWS THROUGH BUT THESE ARE STILL BLACK AND THEREFORE BARELY VISIBLE.

THERE ARE NO LINES ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND JUST THREE SMALL ONES CLOSE TO THE RIGHT CORNER ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS VIRTUALLY FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ALONG THE TOP EDGE. AGAIN THOUGH ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED AND ONLY THE ABSOLUTE TIP ENDS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF WHITE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

ALMOST EVERY COPY OF THIS SLEEVE THAT I HAVE HANDLED SHOWS RUBBING TO THE TOP EDGE ON THE REAR SURFACE WHERE THE BLACK LOOKS GREY IN PARTS, BUT THIS COPY IS JUST SUBLIME. ALL OF THE SHINY BLACK SURFACE IS INTACT, AND THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF RECORD SHAPE IF YOU REALLY LOOK HARD. ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE AND OTHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THAT'S ALL

THE OPENING EDGE  IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGE

THE  BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION

THE RARE INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

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