THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN GLEAMING CONDITION, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TO BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO SEE. A FEW VERY FINE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 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 RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
AN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING WHATSOEVER.THE ONLY MINOR FLAW IS A MINUSCULE DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP END.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES , JUST THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TWO MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL 99% YELLOW WITH THE DELICATE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, BETTER IN FACT AS THERE ARE NO LINES BY ANY OF THE EDGES
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE CARD LYRIC INNER IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, CREASES, WRINKLES MARKS OR STAINS
A REALLY INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
