THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT .
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE OR STATIC ANYWHERE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE TOTALLY SILENT.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
I HEARD PERHAPS FOUR TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD
AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED TEXTURED CLOUT & BAKER GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. FIRSTLY THE VERY VULNERABLE GREY TEXTURED SURFACE IS PERFECT. NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER. THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES BY THE SPINE . NONE WHATSOEVER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST THE BAREST TRACES OF EXTREMELY LIGHT SHELF WEAR IN THE FORM OF A FEW WHITE SPECKS
THE SPINE IS STILL TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE ONLY AREAS OF RUBBING ARE AT THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS, AND THE LEADING EDGES HAVE SOME LIGHT RUB TO THEM
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS PERFECT. NO MARKS OR LINES ANYWHERE. JUST A PERFECT REAR SURFACE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT PAIR OF INNER PANELS. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE
THE RCA DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT MOTTLE STAINS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
