THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. RICH VIBRANT COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE SILVER TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND I HAD TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO EVEN SEE IT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST SOME ULTRA FINE SLEEVE REMOVAL 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 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.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RUBBING. THERE IS A TINY PATCH OF LAMINATE FLAKE WHERE THE PRICE STICKER ONCE WAS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS MINT WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE WHITE SURFACE RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH THE CORNER TIPS BOTH UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ONLY A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING, AND A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ON THE LEADING EDGES. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
THE REAR SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE WITH JUST TWO TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL. AGAIN THE COLOURS ARE ALL PERFECT
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO YELLOWING TO THE PURE WHITE SURFACE.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
