THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL BLUE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON DISC TWO AND JUST ONE MINUSCULE ONE ON DISC ONE .
THE VINYL
BOTH DISCS GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THEY HAVE THAT JUST REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE SHEEN ABOUT THEM, IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
SO THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION ON EITHER DISC
SECONDLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
NO VINYL NOISE AND ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC WHATSOEVER ON DISC TWO AND JUST THE ODD SPECK ON DISC ONE
I HEARD NO DUST POPS/TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR DISC TWO AND MINT MINUS FOR DISC ONE
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THERE AREN'T ANY THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED AND UNMARKED ANYWHERE, AND THERE ISN'T EVEN A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE IS MINT WITH ALL OF THE GLEAMING BLUE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. SHARP AND SQUARE. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH JUST A C COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SCUFFS NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE BOTH MINT
THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND UNRUBBED. NO LINES ANYWHERE
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH FLAT, WHITE AND UNSPLIT
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
