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 1-2SMALL 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 FEW SURFACE HANDLING LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SURFACE SCUFFS

THERE IS ONE SMALL FEELABLE SCRATCH ACROSS THE DEAD WAX LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN TRACKS 1-2 ON SIDE ONE

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 A FEW RANDOM TINY TICS AND POPS 

AS TRACK ONE COMES TO A CLOSE THERE IS A ROTATIONAL TIC HEARD. THIS CARRIES ON THROUGH THE LINKING GROOVE AND FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS INTO TRACK TWO

THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY

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 FIVE REALLY TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE

FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. FOUR 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 VISIBLE, AND A LITTLE RUB AT THE RIGHT CORNER TIP.

.THE BOTTOM EDGE  HAS A SMALL SCUFF TOWARDS THE LEFT CORNER

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, AND A COUPLE OF WHITE PRESSURE LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. A COUPLE OF TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE AND A FEW LIGHT SMALL SCRATCH LINES VISIBLE WHEN ANGLED

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
