THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE FAMOUS SAILING SHIP RAK LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. NO MARKS OR LINES ANYWHERE, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 BECAUSE 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
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR TO THE ALBUM
THERE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH THE BRASS SECTION IN PARTICULAR BEING HEARD WITH ULTRA CLARITY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, BUT SOME VERY LIGHT OCCASIONAL SPECK OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER,
NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL PERFORMS AT A NEAR MINT!!! GRADE WITH EASE
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL SUPREMELY GLOSSY AND SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS, THERE IS A LITTLE BROWNING UNDERNEATH THE LAMINATE AROUND THE EDGES
THERE ARE SIX LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT AND RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNERS AT ALL.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , WITH A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS NEAR THE BOTTOM
THE LAMINATED SPINE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AGAIN NO RUBBING ANYWHERE , AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER IS IN NICE CONDITION. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR WRINKLES. SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES
