THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLES AT ALL

THE RECORD

THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE VINYL AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS LP LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS SAT UNTOUCHED FOR ALL THESE YEARS

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS ASERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE 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.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

IT IS A MAGNIFICENT FIRST PRESS REPRODUCTION FREE FROM ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO LOUD CLICKS AND ONLY 4-5 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH WHICH INCLUDED A COUPLE OF TINY TICS IN THE LINKING GROOVE TO TRACK 2 AND THREE ON SIDE ONE

I AM VERY PLEASED TO GRADE THIS LP SOUND PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS

1. DIRTY GRUBBY SURFACE
2. SEVERE RING WEAR
3. SPLITS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER SLEEVE

THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WANT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINESS OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS , JUST ONE SMALL OUTLINE OF THE ORIGINAL SHOP STICKER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

OBVIOUS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. ALL 4 CORNERS ARE PERFECT, AND THE RING WEAR THAT USUALLY BLIGHTS THIS COVER IS TOTALLY ABSENT

THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW.THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SAME TYPEFACE AS THE SPINE AND IT'S ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST A TINY SPECK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END

THE SPINE LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND SQUARE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE AND A PIN PRICK CHIP TO THE SURFACE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE ON THE LEFT HALF

THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE THIS GOOD. THERE IS NO SEAM SPLITS WHICH IS VERY USUAL ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE PARTICULARLY., AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO CREASES OR EVEN ANY SMALL LINES AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE INNER. IT IS TOTALLY AS NEW, WITH AN UNDAMAGED THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

THIS IS A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM, AND WILL NOT NEED UPGRADING

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