THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . FAULTLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
VERY RARE 1ST ISSUE SHOREWOOD SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT,
EVEN THE GOLD COLOURED BORDER HAS REMAINED IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION
THERE ARE NUMEROUS MICROSCOPIC LITTLE LINES PRESSED NEXT TO THE SPINE, AND A FEW SLIGHTLY LARGER ONES.TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL 95% GOLDEN WITH JUST A FEW WHITE PIN PRICKS VISIBLE ALONG THE SURFACE, AND A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THE LEFT SPINE IS FLAT WITH ONE FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THERE IS ALSO A SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING AT THIS POINT AS WELL. TH BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE HAS ALITTLE BURRING IN PATCHES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES ON THE EDGES
THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNMARKED
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS!!!
