THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID WHITE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE .

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 PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO STATIC AT ANY POINT EITHER. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE DEATHLY SILENT

I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE, I HAVE LEFT THE ORIGINAL SHOP STICKER IN PLACE FOR AUTHENTICITY, BUT THIS CAN BE EASILY REMOVED IF DESIRED.THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER AND THUS HAS ENSURED THAT THE OFF WHITE COLOUR HAS REMAINED FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES NEXT TO  THE SPINE  ,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE SILVER COLOUR RUNNING UNRUBBED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO IMMACULATE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE FRONT RIGHT BOTTOM TIP END.

THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH THE BOTTOM HAVING THE ONLY BLEMISH ON THE SLEEVE WITH A TINY SPECK OF SILVER MISSING AT THE VERY TIP END, AND THE TOP TIP WITH ONE PIN PRICK OF RUBBING, THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. THREE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THE FIRST ISSUE ROUND CORNERED CARD PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE  IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO SPLITS. A PERFECT LARGE THUMB NOTCH ON THE TOP EDGE, JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE PICTURE SIDE 

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