THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE A TRULY PERFECT VINYL.

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF ODD SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND THAT'S ALL

NO DUST POPS OR TICS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT !!!! STANDARD.

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE !!!! THE MULTI-COLURED IMAGES ARE IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR ANY LOSS OF COLOUR. THE JET BLACK BORDER IS ALSO PERFECT. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.

THERE ARE TWO TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE,  AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THERE IS NO RING WEAR, AND JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE BLACK SURFACE PRESENT WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.

THE SPINE HAS SOME LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB DIMPLES TO THE THIN SURFACE,  EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE ONLY LOSS OF COLOUR TO THE SPINE IS A PIN PRICK AT THE BOTTOM TIP AND AND AND ONE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP . THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN  NEAR PRISTINE LIKE THE FRONT. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RETAINED AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, JUST THREE ON THE SPINE , AND TWO ON THE TOP EDGE. THERE IS A STICKER IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER FROM THE RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE WHO OWNED THIS LP ORIGINALLY

THE LYRIC INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. STILL PERFECTLY WHITE, IT IS ALSO UNCREASED

THE LARGE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION. RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES , IT HAS CLEARLY NEVER BEEN OPENED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!!

IF YOU WIN AN LP AUCTION OF MINE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN TERMS OF PACKING AND DELIVERY.

I TREAT EVERY ALBUM WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. THE FIRST THING IS THAT I REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE AND PLACE IT INTO A BRAND NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE LP BUT THE SLEEVE AS WELL. THE LP IS PLACED BEHIND THE SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE LOCATED BACK INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE ALBUM IS PLACED INSIDE A BRAND NEW THICK PVC OUTER SLEEVE. NOT SOME FLIMSY POLY THING, A PROPER COLLECTORS PVC SLEEVE.

I USE THE TOUGHEST CRUCIFORM BOXES TO PLACE THE LP INTO AND INCLUDE ONE VERY HEAVY DUTY STIFFENER INSIDE THE BOX AS WELL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL STIFFENERS PLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES OR AS MANY AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE CORNERS CANNOT GET DAMAGED OR THE BOX BENT.

FINALLY THE LP IS SENT EITHER SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR DEPENDING ON WHICH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH COUNTRY.

FINALLY THE TRACKING NUMBER IS UPDATED ON EBAY UPON MY RETURN FROM THE POST OFFICE

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