THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE ISLAND LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

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. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE ONE AND EVEN LESS ON SIDE TWO

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

ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC ANYWHERE

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE DUST POP EITHER THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE .

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THE DARK COLOURS ARE TOTALLY PERFECT . NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO FOLDS OR BENDS. ONE TINY PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE OR ALONG AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE AND ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL. AGAIN ONE DOT OF WHITE ON THE TIP AND ONE TINY LITTLE SCUFF JUST A LITTLE WAY IN FROM THE RIGHT

THE SPINE ITSELF IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. IMMACULATE COLOUR ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITHOUT ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHATSOEVER

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . ONE  LINE NEXT TO THE TOP EDGE, AND A TINY DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP.

THE CARD PICTURE/LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO MARKS WHATSOEVER, AND NO CREASES

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

IF YOU WIN AN LP AUCTION OF MINE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN TERMS OF PACKING AND DELIVERY.

I TREAT EVERY ALBUM WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. THE FIRST THING IS THAT I REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE AND PLACE IT INTO A BRAND NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE LP BUT THE SLEEVE AS WELL. THE LP IS PLACED BEHIND THE SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE LOCATED BACK INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE ALBUM IS PLACED INSIDE A BRAND NEW THICK PVC OUTER SLEEVE. NOT SOME FLIMSY POLY THING, A PROPER COLLECTORS PVC SLEEVE.

I USE THE TOUGHEST CRUCIFORM BOXES TO PLACE THE LP INTO AND INCLUDE ONE VERY HEAVY DUTY STIFFENER INSIDE THE BOX AS WELL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL STIFFENERS PLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES OR AS MANY AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE CORNERS CANNOT GET DAMAGED OR THE BOX BENT.

FINALLY THE LP IS SENT EITHER SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR DEPENDING ON WHICH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH COUNTRY.

THE TRACKING NUMBER IS UPDATED ON EBAY UPON MY RETURN FROM THE POST OFFICE

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