THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE SHADE AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN,

I HAD TO GET A MAGNIFYING GLASS OUT TO SPOT THE ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT. GLEAMING LIKE A MIRROR, IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING BUT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

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 BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS  FIRST PRESS IS THAT IT SIMPLY SUPERB!!!

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.

THE LP HAS SO MANY SILENT OR VERY QUIET PASSAGES THAT ANY SURFACE NOISE WOULD INSTANTLY BE DETECTED

THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER HAD ONE PLAY FROM NEW PLUS MY VERY CAREFUL AND UNDETECTABLE TEST PLAY

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE

A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC HERE AND THERE, AND A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN IMMACULATE COPY OF THIS LP THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS A PRIZED GEM, AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB LP AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SHOREWOOD GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER. THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. AND AMAZINGLY NOT ONE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES FOR THAT MATTER. NO  LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE AT ALL!!. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH JUST THREE OF FOUR TINY WHITE PINPRICKS VISIBLE ON THE TOP EDGE, BUT A MINT UNBLEMISHED BOTTOM EDGE.

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. IT IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT, AGAIN THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS, AND NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER.

THE SET IS COMPLIMENT ED BY THE CORRECT AND ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE. THIS  SLEEVE HAS THE CURVED CORNER S AND A SMALL THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST A TINY PAPER SNAG IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TO THE BUTTERFLY SIDE.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

IT IS THAT GOOD

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
