THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE RED AREA IS VERY RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER LOGO IS CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY UNRUBBED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR.
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 43 YEARS
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, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF 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. 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 JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OR TWO OF THE LIGHTEST STATIC HEARD ONLY IN THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE 3-4 TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT MINUS!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN SUPERB NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO DEEP CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND CERTAINLY NO RING WEAR , THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS A REALLY DEEP SHINE

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS FLAT WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST THE SMALLEST PATCH OF ROUGHNESS TO THE LAMINATE NEAR THE TOP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TO THE BACK EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS NEARLY IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST ONE CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
SOME TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A COUPLE EACH ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
