THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN BRONZE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE LIGHT AREA IS VERY CLEAN AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLUE LOGO IS CLEAN AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. 

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, PLUS A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL STILL ATTACHED TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE

THE VINYL

BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED  ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM PERHAPS A FEW MINUSCULE AND TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES. A STUNNING DISC

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY LP THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.A POWERHOUSE PRODUCTION THAT IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE SILENT!! AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE TO BE HEARD AT ANY POINT.

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NOT EVEN ANY AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE RUN IN TO EACH SIDE

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO DEEP CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND CERTAINLY NO RING WEAR ,JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE JUT UNDER THE TOP EDGE

ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR.

THERE ARE NINE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WITH THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE VERY ENDS, AND THERE ARE FEW TINY WHITE FLECKS VISIBLE ON THE MAIN SURFACES

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS NEAR PRISTINE AND RUNS FULLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM , WITH JUST A FEW WHITE PIN PRICKS SHOWING ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE ARE ZERO THUMB NAIL NICKS.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO DEEP CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND PRISTINE UNRUBBED COLOURS

THE WHITE  INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN AN UNSPLIT, UNCREASED CONDITION. A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
