THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREY AND WHITE PICTURE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE IS NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. I CAN'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE LP ONTO MY TURNTABLE, I FOUND THAT THERE WERE STILL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS IMMACULATE DISC HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED AS THIS RESIDUE WOULD HAVE FALLEN AWAY WITH SOME USE

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL,

THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES THAT HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE PERFORMANCE WHATSOEVER, PLUS ONE ULTRA FINE AND TOTALLY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE , AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE ONLY STATIC I HEARD WAS IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES FOR A SPLIT SECOND

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN TWO TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP

THE SLEEVE

FLIMSY NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.

USUALLY THIS SLEEVE IS FOUND WITH THE COLOURS RUBBED, AND HEAVY RINGWEAR, AND IN ADDITION MAJOR CREASES.

THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS ONLY VERY MINOR BLEMISHES

THE DELICATE  COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO  HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE. THERE IS JUST A SMALL SPECK OF RECORD SHAPE SHOWING JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND BELOW THE TOP EDGE

THERE ARE FOUR MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO SIMILAR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHICH AGAIN USUALLY SUFFER TERRIBLY FROM SHELFWEAR, ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PERFECT AND BOTH SETS OF CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.

THE THIN SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. NO WEAR OR RUBBING AND THE TEXT IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

THE OPENING EDGE IS WITHOUT QUESTION AS SHARP AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO HAVE A COPY. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE ORIGINAL ROUND CORNERED CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IN THE  SUPERB CONDITION AS NO SPLITS,  NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH IS ALSO PRISTINE

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT

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