THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MAUVE AND SILVER DEEP GROOVE UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, SLIGHTLY DULL IN PATCHES WITH A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ONLY

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 WILL 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 RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .

PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS RECORDING TRULY IS

ABSOLUTE CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION WITH EVERY SINGLE NOTE SOUNDING AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE MAINLY DEATHLY SILENT WITH JUST THE VERY ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THEM

I HEARD NO DUST POPS AND JUST A FEW STATIC TICS AT RANDOM

WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STUNNING CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING  GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT 

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS IN NICE CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, HOWEVER THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS SUFFERED A BEND WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE CORNER WITH LAMINATE LIFT EITHER SIDE OF THE CREASE LINES.

OTHER THAN THIS THERE ARE SIX SMALL LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE WHICH HAS A LIGHT NICK TO IT 

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER,WITH THE LAMINATE PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE WAFER THIN SPINE HAS TAPERED ENDS WHICH HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THE VERY TIPS. THERE ARE A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS  SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS ALL OF THE POROUS WHITE SURFACE IN NEAR WHITE CONDITION  THERE IS THE BAREST SHADOW OF LIGHT NATURAL AGEING MAINLY AROUND THE EDGES. THERE IS A LIGHT CIRCLE OF BLACK RING WEAR THE FLIPBACKS ARE IN PRISTINE PERFECTLY ADHERED CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
