THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.

NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S

THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A COUPLE OF TOTALLY NON SOUNDING BLEMISHES. ON THE FIRST TRACK SIDE ONE THERE ARE THREE WISPY HAIRLINES . VERY HARD TO SPOT AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING AS STATED. SIDE TWO HAS A THIN NEAR INVISIBLE DULL STREAK LINE ACROSS THE SIDE. AGAIN THIS IS TOTALLY NON SOUNDING AND ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A SPOTLIGHT

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A FEW ROTATIONS AND IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO DUST POPS WHATSOEVER, JUST A COUPLE OPF RANDOM LITTLE STAIC TICS

THIS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED ALBUM HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE OF MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF, YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS

YOU ARE NEVER, EVER GOING TO FIND A MORE PRISTINE SLEEVE THAN THIS ONE. IT LOOKS TOTALLY AS NEW!!

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS BEEN STORED UPRIGHT INSIDE A PVC OUTER SLEEVE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN THE SPINE IS 100% FREE OF EVEN THE SMALL LINES. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE

NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE

 THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT COLOUR ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIP ENDS.JUST A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NR RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF UNDER CARD SHOWING THERE

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

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALSO THE GATEFOLD WON'T OPEN FLAT SHOWING THAT IT HAS REMAINED IN A CLOSE POSITION ALL OF ITS LIFE

THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. JUST PERFECT IN FACT

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT! !!

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