THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 1-2 SPIDER LINES ROUND THE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES VISIBLE
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, BECAUSE I 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
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
SECONDLY THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL EITHER
THE VINYL PLAYS JUST SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH JUST THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC'S PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT, AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A LAMINATED FRONT , UNLAMINATED REAR MACNEILL PRESS SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR EVEN BENDS.THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECTLY LAMINATED. THE COLOUR UNDERNEATH FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, WITH ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE VERY BOTTOM TIP. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO STILL RAZOR SHARP , WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK AT THE VERY BOTTOM.
THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS STILL FULLY COLOURED WITH ONLY THE BAREST SHADOW OF GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND SOME TAPE RESIDUAL ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER FOR A FEW INCHES ALONG THE EDGE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND APART FROM A LITTLE BROWNING THOROUGH AGE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, A COUPLE OF LIGHT NICKS TO THE TOP EDGE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
