THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE IS JUST TWO NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY MIGHT SOUND , BUT THEY ARE SUPERFICIAL AS YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING

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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 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 SILENT BITS ARE  NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MORE SILENT SPOTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A COPY THAT PLAYS BETTER THAN THIS ONE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE  POWDERY SURFACE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. WITH JUST THE TWO RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVING THE BAREST TOUCH OF RUB

THE SPINE ITSELF IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE TWO TINY CHIPS TO THE COLOUR. ONE RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP AND THE OTHER JUST ABOVE THE CATALOGUE NUMBER.

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.NOT EVEN A THUMB NAIL NICK ANYWHERE ALONG IT

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT. THE THUMB NOTCH IS UNDAMAGED, AND THE SEAMS ARE UNSCUFFED. THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND THE ONLY LIGHT BLEMISH IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT SHADOW LIKE TOUCH OF HANDLING AT THE EDGES

 I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!

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