THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. BOTH SIDES ARE IMMACULATE SHOWING NO FINGERMARKS. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE JUST ABOUT SPOTTED AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THIS DISC IS EXTREMELY TIGHT TO PLACE ONTO MY SPINDLE, FURTHER PROOF THAT IT HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THIS  VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S  ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST 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 THE LP'S THAT I LIST. THIS IS BECAUSE 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

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND.

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.MEANING THAT THE VERY LIMITED PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS 

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY VINYL NOISE, JUST THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE TWO

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY SMALL 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

SUPERB MINT MINUS SINGLE SEMI LAMINATED SLEEVE

USUALLY FOUND IN POOR CONDITION, THIS SLEEVE IS HARD TO COLLECT IN TOP CONDITION

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE EXAMPLE THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THE EMBOSSED LOGO ON THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST PERFECT. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE LETTERS

THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE OR CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE AND THATS ALL. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST MINT!! NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND EVEN THE CORNER TIP ENDS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE ITSELF IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND RAZOR SHARP, NO THUMB NAIL NICKS WHATSOEVER

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB  STATE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ONLY ONE TINY LITTLE LINE NEAR THE SPINE

THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. HAVING THE SQUARE  CORNERS AND THE SMALL THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ALONG THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

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