THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE 2PINK FACTORY LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS. EVEN THE CATALOGUE NUMBER HAS BEEN HAND STAMPED AND NOT HANDWRITTEN
THE LABELS STATE THAT THE RECORD IS NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINISHED RECORD AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR REVIEW PURPOSES
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AT ALL
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS IN MINT CONDITION. I DAYLIGHT BOTH VINYL GLEAM LIKE POLISHED MIRRORS AND ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. IT IS SO CLEAR THAT THESE PRIZED DISCS HAVE REMAINED UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PERFROMS EXACTLY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT OF AN UNPLAYED SET. MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL NOT AFFECT THE REPRODUCTION IN ANY WAY.
IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A FACTORY SAMPLE TO HAVE REMAINED UNPLAYED
THIS PLAYS TO PERFECTION
NO DISTORTION, NO CRACKLE, NO LOUD CLICKS, NO STATIC, JUST THE ODD SNIPPET OF BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE, AND THE OCCASIONAL TINY DUST POP, AND 4 LITTLE TICS DURING THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF SIDE 4
ALL FOUR SIDES PLAY TO PERFECTION
AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE MINT MINUS
PLEASE DONT JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS. THERE ARE 3-4 TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES TO BE SEEN, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAIEND EXCEPT FOR THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM SECTIONS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VERY MILD SHELF WEAR WITH THE TOP BARELY WORN AT ALL
THE SPINE ALSO DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO THE LEADING EDGES , THE TYPEFACE IS STILL PROPERLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EVEN NICER CONDITION THAN THE FRONT . AGAIN NO CREASES, AND NO COLOUR LOSS, AND NOT EVEN THE MILD RECORD SHAPE THAT THE FRONT DISPLAYS
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH IS RAZOR SHARP CONDITION WITH JUST A THUMB NAIL NICK ON EACH TO SHOWN WHERE THE VINLY WAS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL AND VERY FLAT AND CLEAN, AND ARE ORIGINAL AS THE NAME OF THE LP HAS BEEN EXTREMELY NEATLY PENNED IN THE TOP CORNER
THIS SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
