THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, THIS IS A MINT DISC!!!
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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED ALBUM, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE
AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THIS HOWARDS 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TO COLLECT IN ANYTHING LIKE AN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION. IT SIMPLY ALWAYS HAS NUMEROUS FLAWS, FROM LOSS OF COLOUR, TO DAMAGED EDGES, AND THE DIE CUT HOLE, AND THAT WITHOUT THE SEVERE NUMBER OF LINES USUALLY FOUND BY THE SPINE, PLUS THE INSIDE BLACK PANEL USUALLY BEING COVERED IN WHITE PATCHES. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE CONDITION
IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL.EVERY INCH OF THE DELICATE SILVER COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NOE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER NEAR THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE FLAP.
THE DIE CUT HOLE IS JUST PRISTINE. NO NICKS WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT AROUND THE HOLE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER , AND THIS IS USUALLY A DISASTER AREA WHERE THE DELICATE SILVER IS WORN OFF, BUT THERE THERE IS JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM AND TOP RIGHT CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,WITH JUST ONE LITTLE DIMPLE IN THE MIDDLE, AND IMPORTANTLY THE THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE DELICATE SILVER IS ALL THERE WITH JUST THE VERY BOTTOM TIP SHOWING A SPECK OF RUBBING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND THERE IS NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING, OR RING WEAR. NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER FOR THAT MATTER. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND JUST TWO TINY LINE NEARS THE SPINE, AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE FRONT FLAP REVEALS A PERFECTLY BLACK LEFT INNER PANEL, AND A MINT RIGHT PANEL, WITH THE OPENING EDGE FOR THE LP IN IMMACULATE RAZOR SHARP CONDITION, AND THE INNER SURFACE OF THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. NORMALLY THERE WOULD BE TEARS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM BUT THIS ONE IS JUST AS NEW
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION
I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
