THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE APPLE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. BOTH SIDES ARE IMMACULATE WITH THE WHITE SIDE IN PARTICULAR SHOWING NO FINGERMARKS. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE JUST ABOUT SPOTTED AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS  VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S  ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES PERHAPS, AND A LIGHT DULL PATCH ON SIDE 2

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 THE LP'S THAT I LIST. THIS IS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , 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 CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.MEANING THAT THE VERY LIMITED PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS 

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

NO VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE QUIETEST MOMENTS. I HAVE EVEN RECORDED THE RUN OFF GROOVE RIGHT TO THE CLUNK TO SHOW THAT THERE IS NO CRACKLE WHATSOEVER

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A FEW TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB MINT MINUS SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE

USUALLY FOUND IN POOR CONDITION, THIS SLEEVE IS HARD TO COLLECT IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE FRONT FLAPS OFTEN TEARING OR LOOKING VERY SHABBY AND WEAKLY ATTACHED TO THE SPINE

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE EXAMPLE THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THE TWO EXPOSED THIN FRONT FLAPS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH ARE PROPERLY AFFIXED TO THE SPINE AND AT NO TIME HAVE THE BEEN BENT ROUND TO SIT ON THE REAR SURFACE TO MAKE UP THE PICTURE OF JOHN. OPENING THE FLAPS EXPOSES THE WHOLE OF THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR OR RUBBING AT ANY POINT. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE SLEEVE, AND THE LEFT EDGE IS WHERE THE LP SLIDES INTO THE SLEEVE

THE OPENING EDGE ITSELF IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND RAZOR SHARP

THE TOP EDGE IS 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF RUBBING TO EITHER CORNER TIP

THE SPINES ARE WAFER THIN ON BOTH SIDES AND AS SUCH CANT BE SQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE ON THE FLAP SIDE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS APART FROM A PIN PRICK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT SIDE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB  STATE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST ONE SMALL LINES NEXT TO EACH SPINE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. HAVING THE CORRECT ROUNDED CORNERS AND THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ALONG THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS

THE 8 PAGE FULL SIZED BOOKLET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NOT ONE CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON ANY SURFACE

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

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