THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED. THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL JUST OUTSIDE OF THE HOLE ON SIDE ONE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS JUST TWO NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES 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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS 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 SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MORE SILENT SPOTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A COPY THAT PLAYS BETTER THAN THIS ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED AND EMBOSSED TITLE SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS BLACK USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE SURFACE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE RICH BLACK COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER. INCREDIBLE NOT ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE OR THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES FOR THAT MATTER, AND CERTAINLY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. AND THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS FROM TIP TO TIP
THE SPINE ITSELF IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
INCREDIBLE ALL OF THE BLACK COLOUR IS PRESENT, ANOTHER RARITY ON THIS SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY HAS HEAVY LOSS OF COLOUR ON THE SPINE
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.JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE BACK EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST LIKE THE FRONT WITH NO LINES ANYWHERE AROUND THE PERIMTERES
THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT. THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND THE ONLY LIGHT BLEMISH IS A FAINT RECORD IMPRESSION AND A SMALL SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS TO THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
