THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
A CRISP AND CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THE ODD RANDOM SPEC OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES AND AT THE START OF EACH SIDE
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN THREE TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL 100% MINT MINUS !!
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, FLIPBACK NON LAMINATED REAR GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER
, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE IS A SMALL AREA AT THE VERY BOTTOM IN THE RIGHT CORNER WHERE THE SLEEVE HAS A SLIGHT RIPPLE TO THE CARD. I BELIEVE THIS IS WHERE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED IN TIGHT SHRINKWRAP. IT IS NOT WATER DAMAGE!!
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE MINT AND THE TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TOP BOTTOM AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP APART FROM THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RIPPLE, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN PERFECT WHITE CONDITION. NO SOILING OR FINGERMARKS AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND PICTURES REMAIN PERFECTLY UNRUBBED. THE FLIP BACKS ARE ALSO PROPERLY ADHERED,
THE POLY LINED ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT, JUST SOME AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS NEAR MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
