THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW 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 DOING 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 FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITHOUT AND SEVERE BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING SOME THE QUIETEST SPOTS LIKE A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES. ALSO A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST TICS HERE AND THERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED PROMOTONE B V GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE.
THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE AND REALLY TINY LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ON EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE BAREST TOUCHES OF RUBBING
THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. A WIDESPINE IN MAGNIFICENT UNSQUASHED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OR COLOUR LOSS OR CREASES. INCREDIBLY ONCE AGAIN NO LINES WHATSOEVER, NOT EVEN NEAR THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ANYWHERE
CLEARLY THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE.
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER MINT MINUS!!!!
IT IS THAT GOOD
A REAL VAULT COPY OF THIS LP SET
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
