OUTSTANDING MINT AUDIO

NEAR MINT SLEEVE

THIS ALBUM WAS ONLY EVER ISSUED AS A DEMO COPY. I BELIEVE IT WAS PRESENTED TO RADIO STATIONS AS THE NOTE ON THE BACK STATES 'We hope this record will assist you in programming Elvis versions of these songs'

THERE WERE ONLY EVER 300 OF THESE ISSUED MAKING IT A VERY SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTABLE

 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 RECORD

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT IT  LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF DULL EMBEDDED PATCHES

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE OTHER THAN A SPECK AS TRACK ONE COMES TO A CLOSE AND A LITTLE AT THE START OF TRACK TWO, THIS IS NOT MAN MADE, AS I HAVE TWO COPIES OF THIS AND THE LITTLE STATIC NOISE IS IN BOTH COPIES

THIS ALBUM PERFORMS FAULTLESSLY AFTER THIS, ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 

I HEARD NO AUDIBLE STATIC DURING THE PLAY

NO TICS OR POPS

THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE WITH I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE AS MINT 

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED FIRST ISSUE  SINGLE SLEEVE

 THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER. FOUR SHARP AND SQUARE CORNERS WITH JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT HAVE REMAINED FREE FROM ANY RUBBING

THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE, AND THE ONLY TINY SPECKS OF RUB ARE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP 

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN . SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ALONG WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS.

THE OPENING EDGE HAS TWO PATCHES OF ROUGHNESS AND LIGHT BURRING ON EACH SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!
