THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, . THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN THE 36 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND TWO NON SOUNDING ANGEL HAIR HANDLING 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 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
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS PERFECT STEREO REPRODUCTION. THIS SHOWS THAT THE ONE OR TWO PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1976 WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
CLEAR AND CRISP SOUND THAT PAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS DISC EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!!TAKE A VERY GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THE EMBOSSED SPACESHIP LOGO IS ABSOLUTE PRISTINE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST SIX TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, NOR EVEN ANY TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, WITH JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE AT THE VERY TIP OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY ADHERED. NO PEEL OR FLAKE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND LEGIBLE AND THERE IS JUST ONE DOT OF RUB TO THE VERY TOP TIP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN IMMACULATE WITH AN ULTRA GLOSSY SHEEN. JUST ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER
THE ORIGINAL ISSUE CARD INNER WITH THE 'CURVED ' CORNERS ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES AND JUST A FEW TINY LINES RUNNING NEXT TO THE SEAMS, WHICH ARE UNSPLIT. THE TOP EDGE HAS ONE TINY NICK TO THE VERY LEFT CORNER
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
