THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION/ PRISTINE BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO AN UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS A STAMP ON SIDE ONE TO INDICATE THAT IT IS INDEED SIDE ONE, AS THE MATRIX NUMBERS SAY B-1U ON SIDE O AND VISA VERSA. IT JUST MEANS THEY WERE STAMPED INCORRECTLY AT THE PLANT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN A PERFECT AND SHINY CONDITION AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL OF THE VINYL THAT I LIST. I AM CERTAIN BIDDERS OUT THERE WILL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON RATHER THAN LEAVE IT TO POT LUCK.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS BOTH UNWORN, AND TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE , AND THE ONLY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE SOUND I HEARD WAS IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM DUST POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHOUGH.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOUR SELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. AND THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. THE LAMINATE HAS A HIGH POLISHED FINISH

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND NO BLEMISHES TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THERE IS ONE TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP TIP END

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT, LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG SIDE THE SPINE
THE PLAIN INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES JUST NATURAL AGEING
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
