THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BLACK BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM SET HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. AS I PLACED THE LP'S ONTO MY TURNTABLE I COULD FEEL AND HEAR RESIDUAL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE
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 OTHER THAN SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN
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'S PLAY 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 MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF VERY VERY MILD STATIC HEARD ONLY IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY STATIC TICS WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!
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 TEXTURED 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, HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND THUS HAS ENSURED THAT THE MAROON COLOUR HAS REMAINED FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS
THERE ARE ZERO 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 FOUR CORNERS ARE PERFECT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH MINT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM . BOTH TIPS ARE MINT AND UNBLEMISHED. , THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
THE PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO SPLITS.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!
