THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. . THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE CREAMY WHITE AREAS ARE BEAUTIFULLY WHITE, AGAIN NO MAN MADE MARKS, THERE ARE JUST TWO REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED, AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK REALLY HARD TO SEE THEM AT ALL

THIS IS ALSO A FACTORY SAMPLE ALBUM AS DENOTED BY THE STICKER FIRMLY PLACED ON THE TOP OF THE LABEL ON SIDE ONE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES IN DAYLIGHT AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HANDLING 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND.

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRIPSLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.

THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS A TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE STUFF JUST AS THE RECORD STARTS ON SIDE ONE, AND THE ODD SEMI SECOND ELSEWHERE

I HEARD NO MORE THAN  A DOZEN OF THE TINIEST AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED, NO FLAKE , PEEL, OR LIFT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, AND NO LIGHT ONES EITHER

THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND THREE EACH ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. ONE SLIVER OF A LINE ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TOP TIP

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS JUST PRISTINE. NO SQUASHING BUT THEN THERE IS NOTHING TO SQUASH, AND ALL OF THE TEXT IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THIS YOU CAN TELL THE RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB STATE AS THE FRONT. JUST A COUPLE OF LINES ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES

THE VERY FIRST ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM HAD A LYRIC INNER SLEEVE, WHICH THIS ONE HAS. THIS SLEEVE HAS THE LYRICS TO ALL OF THE TRACKS AS WELL AS THE BAND PERSONNEL. THE INNER IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO DAMAGE TO THE OPENING EDGE, JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT CREASE LINES

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!

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