 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 ORANGE LABELS ARE STILL PRISTINE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

WHEN LOOKED AT IN DAYLIGHT THIS RECORD LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS

UNDER A ROW OF SPOTLIGHTS THE VINYL STILL LOOKS MINT

NO MARKS, LINES OR ANYTHING TO INDICATE PLAY

SIMPLY THE BEST COPY  I HAVE SEEN

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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, JUST 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

SIDE ONE PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THOUGH. THE SOUND IS LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL. NO CRACKLE, CLICKS OR POPS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

SIDE TWO IS ALMOST AS CLEAN, BUT THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM POPS DURING THE FIRST 2-3 MINUTES OF TRACK TWO. THEY ARE SINGLE POPS AND NOT REPETITIVE ONES, MAKING ME THINK THAT A DEEPER CLEAN MIGHT REMOVE THEM. I DID RUN THE STYLUS BACKWARDS OVER ONE AND IT CLEARED IT ON THE NEXT PLAY. IN ADDITION TO THESE 5-6 POPS THERE IS JUST A TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE NOISE HEARD IN TRACK ONE FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS

WHAT I WANT TO STRESS IS THAT THE CLOUDINESS OF THE VINYL DOESN'T IMPACT ON THE SOUND AT ALL OTHER THAN IN THE DEAD WAX RUN OUT ON SIDE TWO

BUT I WOULD SUGGEST TAKING A FULL LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM FIRST, TO PROVE WHAT I AM SAYING

FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE I WOULD GRADE SIDE ONE AS MINT MINUS AND SIDE TWO AS CLOSE TO NEAR MINT (EX+)

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE BEST COPY OF THIS SLEEVE YOU ARE EVER LIKELY  TO FIND

A MACNEILL PRESS GATE FOLD IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND HAS PRISTINE RUB FREE COLOURS ALL ACROSS THE COVER. THE BLACK BORDER IS ALSO TOTALLY PERFECT

THE CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A TINY LITTLE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE

THERE ARE JUST FOUR NEAR INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE.  NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, ONE THUMB PRESSURE POINT AGAINST THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AT ALL EITHER, OR EVEN ANY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, NO DAMAGE TO THE THIN CARD

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS  TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UN-SQUASHED, ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT AND FULLY RUN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM . BOTH TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE HAS A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING TO THE REAR EDGE AND THIS PURELY BECAUSE THE REAR EDGE SLIGHTLY OVERLAPS THE FRONT

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PURE WHITE INNER PANEL BACKGROUNDS. 

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS PRISTINE

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
