THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. SO IT THE BLACK TYPEFACE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO UNWORN, AND THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLE TO SHOW THAT THIS INCREDIBLE LP HAS ONLY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE JUST A FEW TIMES.
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS, APART FROM ONE REALLY REALLY TINY LINE ON SIDE 1 TRACK ONE WHICH IS NO MORE THAN A QUARTER INCH (SURFACE ONLY AND NON SOUNDING). I SPOTTED IT ONLY WHEN I ANGLED THE LP INTO THE SUNLIGHT . EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WHAT COLLECTORS WANT FROM SELLERS. TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY HEAR THE ALBUM YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING IS IN MY OPINION THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY SALES
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 SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY FRYING BACON OR CLICKS. THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN ONE OR TWO RANDOM SPOTS, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS, BUT OTHERWISE MAGNIFICENT ALL OVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
INCREDIBLE MINT SLEEVE THAT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP COVERING ALL BUT THE EXPOSED OPENING EDGE. THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS STILL PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE SHRINK
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE ONLY SLIGHT FLAW IS A CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND AMAZINGLY AS WELL THERE ARE NO SMALL CREASE LINES ON ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES,APART FROM ONE SMALL ONE ON THE SPINE EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. THANKS AGAIN TO THE SHRINKWRAP
THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST IMMACULATE. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE. IT IS ALSO TOTALLY FLAT
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND WHITE AND UNSPLIT WITH JUST ONE CREASE LINE ACROSS ONE TOP CORNER
A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
