THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 2 ROUGH TEXTURED  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE ORANGE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSSANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND UNRUBBED SIDES

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEAL JUST 5-6 TINY  SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY INDICATING THE VINYL HAS ONLY HAD A FEW VERY CAREFUL PLAYS SINCE 1964

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FORM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES. I CAN'T SAY I HAVE SEEN A BETTER COPY

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 MAGNIFICENTLY, 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. THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH AN UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO VINYL NOISE

ALL I HEARD WAS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC AND SOME TINY DUST TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH 

THE SLEEVE

CORRECT VERY FIRST PRESS SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WITH FLIPBACKS AND THE ALL IMPORTANT PASTE ON LYRIC SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS.THERE IS SOME LIGHT BROWNING VISIBLE DOWN THE SPINE EDGE UNDER THE LAMINATE FROM AGEING.

THERE IS ALSO NO RECORD SHAPE OR ANY RING WEAR.

THE ABSOLUTE TIPS OF THE LEFT CORNERS HAVE THE TINIEST DINGS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PRISTINE AND UNWORN

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED AND THERE IS NO PEEL OR FLAKE,AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE IMMACULATE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY DOWN

THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE THE FLIPBACKS ARE ALL PERFECT AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THEM.THE PASTE OVER LYRIC SURFACE IS PERFECTLY WHITE AND NONE OF THE TYPEFACE HAS RUBBED
