THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE DARK GREEN SIDE IS VERY RICH AND VIBRANT, AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE COLOUR AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOLD AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN,
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE, SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY SPOTLESS. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS . EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN AND A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE DULL SPOTS
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 KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 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.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.
THE ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND SOME RANDOM DUST POPS AND TICS WERE ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL PRESS SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND LOOKS SUPERB.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. NOT ONE LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE, JUST A THIN SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT RUNNING DOWN IT. THERE ARE TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE IS 100% FREE FROM ANY CREASES WHATSOEVER
THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR 99% OF IT'S LIFE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT AND FULLY RUNNING FORM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND VIRTUALLY UNSQUASHED, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY DIMPLES. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND THAT INCLUDES THE TAPERED TIP ENDS WHICH ARE UNRUBBED. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK
THE THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EVEN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE FRONT. IT STILL HAS THE THIN SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE, BUT NO SMALL LAMINATE LINES ALONG ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES AT ALL
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. ALSO UNSPLIT AND VERY WHITE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT. IT IS THAT GOOD!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
