THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION CANNOT FIND ONE SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE. THE LP SET HAS UNTIL TODAY NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE . A TRULY PRISTINE VINYL
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 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 I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED LP, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THIS LP FIRST OF ALL HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE BAREST ODD SECOND OF STATIC. IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THERE ARE SIX SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE.NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE OF ANY DESCRIPTION
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP HAS A SPECK OF LIGHT RUBBING. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RANDOM MINUSCULE WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS
THE ONLY BLEISHES ARE WHERE A COUPLE OF THE SMALL LINES FROM THE FRONT SURFACE HAVE CREPT ROUND ONTO THE FLAT SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE ALSO RUBBED A LITTLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SLP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND ONLY HAS A FEW TINY LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES
THE PLAIN WHITE 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND STILL PURE WHITE
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS!!!
