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 THREE 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 IS A SMALL NON SOUNDING SCUFF ON TRACK TWO, SIDE ONE, AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINES ON SIDE TWO, AGAIN THESE ARE NON SOUNDING

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  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 THE RUN IN'S TO BOTH SIDES. AND THATS ALL. I AM ALSO CERTAIN THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

SEMI  LAMINATED AND DELICATE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE 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 ARE JUST THREE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. WITH JUST THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END BEING LIGHTLY RUBBED, AND ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP RIGHT TIP

THE SPINE IS STILL FLAT AND ONLY HAS A FEW TINY WHITE PIN PRICKS WHERE THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE HAVE CREPT ONTO THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE VERY BOTTOM TIP END HAS A SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING

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 THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND TWO MORE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT.  THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS FLAT AND UNCREASED,

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

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