THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THIS VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPS
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. THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE DECIDED TO ADD TO THE AUCTIONS AND ALTHOUGH IT TAKES EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT, I BELIEVE IT'S WELL WORTH IT. IT HAS LONG BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A LOTTERY WHEN IT COMES TO RECORDS. SO MANY INEXPERIENCED SELLERS DESCRIBE RECORDS AS MINT, ONLY FOR THEM TO BE ANYTHING BUT, AND THIS IS A VALID ARGUMENT THAT BUYERS WILL LEVY AGAINST SELLERS. FAIR ENOUGH, BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ENTIRE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO BID. I HOPE YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD.
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRSIPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT
AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND PLAYS LIKE NEW, PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN, AND SURPRISINGLY NONE OF THE POWDERY COLOURED SURFACE HAS BEEN LOST THROUGH RUBBING AND SHELF WEAR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, IN FACT THERE ARE JUST 3 SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE LINES ACCROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND ONE FINE LINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE
THERE IS NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100& FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OR RUBBING
THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE VERY BOTTOM TIP HAS LIGHT WEAR, BUT THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF SQUASHING IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRAGILE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN A VERY TIDY, UNSPLIT CONDITION, JUST A LITTLE BROWNED AROUND THE EDGES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
