THE LABELS

THE  WHITE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE JUST TWO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE.THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF VINYL THAT CAN BEE FELT AND HEARD WHEN PLACING THE LP ONTO THE TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE VINYL

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH JUST THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC HERE AND THERE, HEARD IN THE LINKING GROOVES IF AT ALL

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND FLAT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY DEEP CREASE LINES EITHER,ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SMALL CREASE/ DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP.

THERE ARE THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED

ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SUPERB WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE VIRTUALLY WITHOUT BLEMISH. JUST A  SPECK ON THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS AND THE TOP RIGHT TIP 

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED, PLUS NO COLOUR LOSS WHICH INCLUDES THE TIP ENDS. ALL THE  BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED,AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OF ANY DESCRIPTION ANYWHERE, JUST A TINY DING TO THE CORRESPONDING BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
