THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. DEEP RICH BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RETAINED, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME EMBEDDED DULL PATCHES VISIBLE WHICH IS TYPICAL OF 90'S VINYL. THIS HAS NO EFFECT OF THE AUDIO
IN ADDITION THERE ARE SOME SMALL WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND HALF A DOZEN LIGHT HANDLING LINES, MOST OF WHICH ARE TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT
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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE EP PLAYS THROUGH CLEANLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYBACK, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAN WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO MORE THAN THE ODD RANDOM SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN A THE DEAD WAX AREAS, AND ON SIDE ONE A NUMBER OF TICS AND POPS RANDOMLY HEARD, FAR LESS ON SIDE TWO WHERE THEREARE ONLY A FEW
CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL VG+ / EX FOR THE AUDIO
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE INTACT AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ANY BENDS OR DINGS, AND THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH JUST A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE NINE REALLY TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE
FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS VIRTUALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPECKS OF WHITE VIS IBLE.THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS BUT IS OTHERWISE FLAT, SOME PIN PRICKS OF WHITE UNDER CARD VISIBLE ON THE LEADING EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. A COUPLE OF TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE ANS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, OR CREASES
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
