THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MATT ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK LOGO IS CLEAN AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. 

I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUMS HAVING RETAINED  ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ALSO NOTHING TO SEE. A PERFECT PAIR OF UNPLAYED VINYLS

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY LP THEY ARE CONSIDERING PLACING A BID ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC JUST BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT.

FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.A POWERHOUSE PRODUCTION THAT IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE SILENT!! AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE TO BE HEARD AT ANY POINT.

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES OR SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD TWO TINY TICS ON SIDE THREE AND ONE ON SIDE FOUR THATS ALL (NO MARKS ON THE VINYL)

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT  !!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO DEEP CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS, AND  THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN MOSTLY RETAINED WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RING WEAR IN THE FORM OF VERY MILD GREYING

THERE ARE TWO TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE ONLY HAS A LITTLE BIT OF SHELF WEAR WITH THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER . THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOW A LITTLE RUB AND THERE A COUPLE OF SMALL WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACES.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS NEAR PRISTINE AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO DEEP CREASES OR CREASE LINES 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO UNBLEMISHED INNER PANELS

THE WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES ARE IN AN UNSPLIT, MINT UNCREASED CONDITION.

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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