THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE CREAM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAD TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO SPOT A TINIEST SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS ALSO RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S 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 LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ZERO!! STATIC EITHER, EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES.
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY LITTLE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THE SEMI-LAMINATES SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, A TRULY MINT SURFACE IN EVERY WAY
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% MINT WITH THE SPINE WORDING ALSO APPEARING ON THE TOP EDGE. ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP, SQUARE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,WITH THE GLOSSY LAMINATED SURFACE UNRUBBED AND IMPORTANTLY THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING, EVEN TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. NO SMALL LAMINATE LINES ANYWHERE AT ALL
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE UNPLAYED FOR ALL THESE YEARS
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION
I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
