THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE MARK ON THEM, AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN
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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY 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
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED RECORD JUST BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB
AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO VINYL NOISE AND VIRTUALLY NO STATIC IN ANY OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT !!!
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND 100% FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND THE MAIN BODY OF THE SLEEVE IS IMMACULATE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LAMINATE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE MICROSCOPIC ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE. FULLY LAMINATED FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE VERY TIP ENDS OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND RUNNING PERFECTLY FROM TOP TOP BOTTOM. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE AS IS THE BLACK TYPEFACE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS SO CLEAR THAT THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN IN THE 36 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED.NO THUMB NAIL NICKS WHATSOEVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT. PRISTINE GLEAMING LAMINATE AND TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE. NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES
THE ORIGINAL GREY CARD IS UNSPLIT ALONG THE SEAMS. PERFECT UNMARKED GREY SURFACE AND NO CREASES, OR MARKS OF ANY KIND
THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS AND I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE IT MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
