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.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE 6-7 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

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. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY MIGHT SOUND , BUT THEY ARE MOSTLY SUPERFICIAL AS YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING

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

NO VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC HERE AND THERE. I HEARD NO MORE THAN 6 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY ( IF YOU WANT BLOOD HAS A FEW MORE)

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS !!! IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED AND DELICATE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE  POWDERY SURFACE.AND MOST I HAVE SEEN HAVE LARGE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUSCULE LINES NEAR THE SPINE.

NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. WITH JUST THE TWO RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVING THE BAREST TOUCH OF RUB

THE SPINE ITSELF IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, APART FROM HALF FINGER TO THUM SQUASH JUST AFTER  THE TITLE.

ALL OF THE DELICATE TYPEFACE REMAINS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE COLOUR RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM TIP TO TIP WITHOUT ANY RUBBING

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.NOT EVEN A THUMB NAIL NICK ANYWHERE ALONG IT

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST FOUR MINUSCULE LINES  NEAR THE SPINE . NONE ELSEWHERE

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT, UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION

 I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

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