THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . A MINT VINYL

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.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

HOWARDS OF SLOUGH UNLAMINATED GATE-FOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP AND  NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES ARE NEAR MINT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, SHOWING JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD AND A MINUSCUE SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS.

THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A TINY BIT MORE WEAR THAN THE TOP, BUT NOTHING TOO HARSH

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE LIGHT SHELF RUB AND THERE ARE A FEW P[IN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE WHEN USING A MACRO LENS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PRISTINE AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE HAS A LITTLE EDGE AGEING, BUT NO SPLITS OR HEAVY CREASE LINES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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