THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE AND I AM CERTAIN THAT THE LP HAS REMAINED JUST ONCE PLAYED UNTIL TODAY.
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE.
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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
A TRULY MINT MINUS REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END. THE SILENT BITS ARE ALL SILENT AND THE MUSIC IS FAULTLESS
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES ANYWHERE. AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
ALL YOU WILL HEAR I A SPECK OR TWO OF LIGHT STATIC IN A FEW OF THE QUIETEST MOMENTS
NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE
A TRULY INVESTMENT GRADE VINYL AND SLEEVE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED , GATEFOLD FROM HOWARDS PRINTERS
THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A PRIZED COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. DUE WHOLLY TO THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE RUBBING ALL TO EASILY.PLUS THE CHROME EFFECT TYPEFACE ON THE BACK GETTING SEVERELY SCRATCHED.
THIS PARTICULAR SET HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR MOST OF ITS TIME INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER AND IN IN SUPER ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH AN INNER SLEEVE TO MATCH.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS PRISTINE. THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED (WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE) AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO FOLD OR BENDS, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS.
JUST FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE PERFECT, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THEM
WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE. THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE WHITENESS SHOWING ON THE REAR EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER AREA
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AT ANY POINT. ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE .PRISTINE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THE LP BEING REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE FRONT. THE CHROME LETTERING AT THE TOP IS JUST MINT!!! AS IS THE TRACKLISTING, AND THERE ARE NO LINES AT ALL AGAINST THE SPINE, JUST TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER SURFACE. BOTH PANELS ARE MINT AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THE GATEFOLD HASN'T BEEN OPENED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SEAM SPLITS, AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD IMPRESSION. TRULY OUTSTANDING.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
