THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE VIRGIN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE WHITE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS UNMARKED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS,, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS AS SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. EVERY NOTE CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, NO LOUD CLICKS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE ARE NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED ROBOR SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE MULTI COLOURED SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS ANYWHERE. THE CREAM BORDERS ARE ALSO IN TOP CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY MINUSCULE SIGNS OF HANDLING TO THEM
THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS TINY DING
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER TOTALLY PRISTINE WITH UNRUBBED CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP END.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND LIGHTLY COMPRESSED JUST BELOW THE HALF WAY POINT. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE PERFECT AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE INCLUDING THE TIP ENDS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS LIKEWISE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, JUST A LIGHT GLUE LINE ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. STILL VERY WHITE AND UNMARKED JUST A SHADE OF AGEING TO THE EDGES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
