THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND BLACK LABELS ARE JUST PRISTINE. EVERY SPECK OF THE COLOUR ARE PRESENT AND UNRUBBED, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS NOT ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON ANY SIDE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
HERE WE HAVE THREE TOTALLY UNPLAYED VINYLS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYLS GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. THEY LOOK TODAY AS GOOD AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THEY ARE 100% MINT!!!
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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
I WAS IN TWO MINDS AS TO WHETHER TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED SET, BUT AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!!
I PROMISE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE LP'S PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIX SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SET SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NOT ON JOT OF VINYL NOISE OR STATIC, AND NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE
YOU WILL NEVER GET A BETTER COPY OF THIS EVER!!
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE THAT THIS SLEEVE COULD NOT SUFFER ANY WEAR WAS TO PROTECT IT FROM DAY ONE INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE (AND LEAVE IT THERE). I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE LP'S ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO DO JUST THAT. AND HERE WE HAVE WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A PERFECT SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, UNRUBBED AND JUST PRISTINE. THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS STILL FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND WELL THERE ARE ONLY THREE MICROSCOPIC LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE,ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST IMMACULATE. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVEN THE TIP ENDS HAVE NO LOSS OF COLOUR
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.NOT EVEN A THUMB NAIL NICK ANYWHERE ALONG IT
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR, JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE ON THE SPINE
THE FOLD OUT ARMAGIDEON TIMES IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IT JUST HAS ONE TINY CREASE LINE ON THE FAR RIGHT EDGE WHERE IT HAS BEENFOLDED BACK ON ITSELF
THE THREE PLAIN DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES ARE ALL IN IMMACULATE 'AS NEW' CONDITION
A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
