THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE 2 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE AND I DO MEAN MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATION THAT THE LP HAS HAD VERY CAREFUL PLAY
THE VINYL
IMMACULATE AS NEW GLEAMING HEAVYWEIGHT DISC. THIS COULD NOT LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM SOME REALLY WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
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 FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AND CLEAN AS A BELL, AND THIS ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THE MUSIC IS FREE FROM ANY VINYL NOISE OR EVEN STATIC, AND ONLY IN THE VERY LAST TRACK IS THERE A BARE TRACE OF LIGHT STATIC.
I AM CERTAIN THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT MINUS!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION. . THE FRONT SURFACE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT IS PRINTED ON A VERY HEAVY CARD AND IS SLIGHTLY TEXTURED, AND THUS PRONE TO RINGWEAR AND SEVERE RUBBING. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON IT, APART FROM ONE TINY SPECK OF COLOUR MISSING RIGHT IN THE CENTRE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES OR BENDS .
AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VERY FLIGHTY SHELF WORN.
THE SPINE HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED EDGES, AND IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND THE VERY BOTTOM TIP.
THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES WHERE THERE IS SOME LIGHT GREYING TO THE SURFACE
THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE ONCE AGAIN SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED, AS IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY UNSPLIT.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
