THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE HALVED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE TOTALLY UNWORN. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE DISC HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT THE LP IS FLAWLESS, NOT A MARK ON IT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, THIS IS BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED 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 MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
A STUNNING SOUND THAT IS PERFECT WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION AND CERTAINLY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER
NO DUST POPS ANYWHERE AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC TICS
OUTSTANDING COPY, AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE 4 CORNERS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED.
THERE ARE THREE SMALL LINES AGAINST THE SPINE, AND IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER A LIGHT CREASE LINE THAT RUNS PARALLEL WITH THE SPINE FOR 2 INCHES. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LITTLE CHIP TO THE BLACK BORDER. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP AND A SMALL WHITE SPECK FURTHER ALONG THE SURFACE.
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NO COLOUR LOSS EVEN AT THE CORNER TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS. THE GATEFOLD WON'T EVEN LIE FLAT
