THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE STATESIDE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH EVERY ALBUM THAT I LIST, AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO 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 REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
A LITTLE OCCASIONAL SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
ALL YOU WILL HEAR THE OCCASIONAL TINY STATIC TIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL AT THE VERY TOP OF THE EX++GRADE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS INCREDIBLE SLEEVE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT THAT THE TEXTURED AREA IS JUST UNBLEMISHED. NO RUBBING AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, APART FROM ONE LIGHT SLIVER AT THE TOP OF THE OPENING EDGE
THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN TOP CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS INTACT WITH JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS, PLUS ONE OTHER WHITE DOT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE SPINE HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE BOTTOM TIP. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SURFACE IS FLAT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY SPECKS OF BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS A PERFECT TEXTURED COLOUR. THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE AND THAT'S ALL.
THE 4 PAGE INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER IS WHITE WITH A LITTLE AGEING, FLAT AND UNSPLIT.
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
