THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MAUVE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE MAUVE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IT'S ALSO A REAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL

IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES THE LP SHOW SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE ON THIS MACNEILL PRESS SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.

THERE ARE SIX TINY LAMINATE  LINES NEAR THE SPINE, ONE NEAR INVISIBLE ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE .

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER , WITH THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP

THE SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH JUST TWO TINY THUMB TO FINGER IMPRESSIONS. THERE LAMINATE IS ALL INTACT AND ONLY THE ABSOLUTE YIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING ON EACH ONE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS REMAINED FAIRLY WHITE WITH SOME LIGHT HANDLING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE  IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO THE SURFACES

THE  PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION, JUST ONE SMALL NICK TO THE TOP EDGE 

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