THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE ORANGE TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THIS SET HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS SPOTLESS. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISCS LOOK FLAWLESS , AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN ON DISC ONE, MOST OF WHICH ARE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES. THERE IS ONE TINY MARK ON THE VERY LAST TRACK ON SIDE FOUR
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 ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH ALL FOUR SIDES
ABSOLUTELY NO 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
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE ONLY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND YOU MAY HEAR WILL BE IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, MORESO ON DISC ONE
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH OTHER THAN 3 ROTATIONAL TICS IN THE RUN OUT DEAD WAX TO SIDE ONE, AND TWO ON THE FINAL TRACK SIDE FOUR
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER VIRTUALLY FROM NEW AND IS THE REASON WHY IT IS WELL ABOVE THE GRADE THAT MOST COPIES YOU WILL FIND
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.AND FREE FROM ANY LARGE OR DEEP CREASES OR CREASE LINES. IT IS STILL A BRILLIANT WHITE WITHOUT ANY HANDLING OR FINGERMARKS. AGAIN THIS IS DUE TO THE PROTECTION AFFORDED IT FROM NEW.
THERE IS ONE NEAR INVISIBLE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ONCE AGAIN PERFECTLY WHITE WITHOUT ANY MARKS, OR SHELF WEAR, WITH THE WHITE SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH RAZOR SHARP AND IS EVIDENCE OF WHY THIS LP JUST HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE WHITE HAS JUST ONE FINGERMARK ON IT JUST ABOVE THE TRACK LISTING TO THE LEFT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE GLOSSY PICTURE INNER SLEEVES ARE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSPLIT. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
