 TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE LABELS

THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN NEAR 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 7-8 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION SIDE TWO SHOWS A NUMBER OF SURFACE HAIRLINES AND HANDLING LINES AND A BAND OF EMBEDDED DULLING NEAR THE OUTER RIM. FORTUNATELY THESE BLEMISHES HAVE LITTLE OR NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE TICS. SIDE ONE ONLY SHOWS LIGHT EMBEDDED CLOUDINESS AND A COUPLE OF 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 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

ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND I HEARD ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKIGN GROOVES

NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

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 UN-LAMINATED 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  CLEAN. THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A SHADE OF GREYING JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NON THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE TIP ENDS SHOW A SPECK OF RUB

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY LIGHT SHELF RUB IN PATCHES AND AT THE CORNERS

THE SPINE ITSELF IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE IS ONE TINY THUMB IMPRESSION JUST AT THE BOTTOM ON THE TYPEFACE. NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST A COUPLE OF TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

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

 I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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