THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO RED AND GREY LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREY BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED LOGO IS ALSO PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THE WHITE 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

I HEARD NO STATIC WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT AND NO MORE THAN 2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

FULLY LAMINATED  SLEEVE . .

THIS IMMACULATE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND COULDN'T BE ANY MORE PRISTINE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE  SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

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, APART FROM 2 MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NONE WHATSOEVER NEAR THE SPINE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR.AND THE LAMINATE FULLY STRETCHES FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP

THE 4 CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE 

THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST IMMACULATE. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE RED AND WHITE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE, AND IT IS  SUPERBLY FLAT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT, EVEN TO THE TIP ENDS WHICH REMAIN UNRUBBED

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 NEAR THE SPINE

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN THE SAME MINT CONDITION THAT THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN. NO WRINKLES, OR CREASES, AND NO SEAM SPLITS, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TOP OPENING THUMB NOTCH

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