THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED. THERE ARE ALSO SHARDS OF VINYL AROUND THE HOLE ON SIDE TWO
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY NON SOUNDING SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE DUST POPS OR TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
1ST ISSUE GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED OR SHELFWORN. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE AT THE VERY TOP. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A VERY FEINT LINE WHICH RUNS PARALLEL TO THE SPINE RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE IN THE LEFT CORNER
THE GREY SURFACE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES IS AMAZINGLY IN MINT CONDITION. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND HAS THEREFORE PROTECTED THIS VERY DELICATE SURFACE FROM ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SURFACE DIMPLES SHOWING. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A TINY SLIVER ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE SPINE.. THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND GIVES MORE EVIDENCE TO THE FACT THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE HEAVY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
