THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND WHITE LABELS LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE WHITE SIDE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE VERY CLEAN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK SIDE LOGO IS ALSO PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THE  TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS . ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SPOT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES,

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 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 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 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

THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES, AND A FEW RANDOM AND AGAIN BARELY AUDIBLE DUST TICS OR POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS NEAR MINT !!!!, IT IS THAT GOOD!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE SLEEVE STILL HAS MOST OF THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP ON IT WITH THE JUST THE OPENING EDGE SPLIT TO REMOVE THE LP, AND THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS TORN

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE  SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, JUST A SMALL DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND AMAZINGLY AS WELL THERE ARE NO SMALL CREASE LINES ON ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THROUGH THE SHRINKWRAP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WITH JUST THE EXPOSED BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER SHOWING A LITTLE LIGHT RUBBING

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST IMMACULATE. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE  WHITE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE, AND IT IS  SUPERBLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED

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.

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION . NO WRINKLES, OR CREASES, AND NO SEAM SPLITS, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TOP OPENING THUMB NOTCH, LIGHT HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACE

THE SINGLE LOOKS TO BE IN UNPLAYED CONDITION AS THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE FACTORY DIE CUT SLEEVE HAS A SMALL NICK TO ONE SIDE OF THE HOLE.

THE TITLE CARD IS IN PRISTINE UNCREASED CONDITION

A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!

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