THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MAGANTA BASED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE THE OTHER THREE COLOURS ARE ALSO MINT INCLUDING THE WHITE LOGO AT THE TOP WHICH IS PURE WHITE
I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUNF THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN WHEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM IN AN AS NEW CONDITION. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 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 NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON THE PLAYTHROUGH MEANING THAT IF THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED PRIOR TO MY TEST PLAY IT WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
VINYL NOISE IS NON EXISTANT AND THERE IS JUST THE ODD NANO SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND I HERAD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!! IT IS THAT GOOD
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE SHOREPAK LTS SINGLE NON LAMINATED SLEEVE
THE DELICATE BROWN SURFACE IS OFTEN FOUND SERIOUSLY RUBBED AND RINGWORN, BUT ON THIS COPY IT IS VIRTUALLY UNBLEMISHED, WITH JUST A FEW WHITE FLECKS SHOWING NEAR THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES, BENDS OR FOLD, AND JUST FOUR SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE AON THE TOP EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS A FEW FLECKS OF WHITE SHOWING IN SPOTS, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS LIGHTLY SHELF RUBBED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH JUST THE BAREST BIT OF RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE FLECKS IN THE TOP HALF. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZO SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES TO SHOW WHERE THE RECORD HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN CREASE FREE AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
