THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, BOTH COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED WITH THE WHITE SECTION REMAINING 'WHITE'
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN WITH JUST 4-5 REALLY SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS BARELY PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO HANDLING MARKS TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SEE SOME FINE WISPY HAIRLINES WHICH ARE INVISIBLE IN NORMAL LIGHT.
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 FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I WANTED TO ALLOW BIDDERS TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE REPRODUCTION IS LIKE, AND PARTICULARLY THE QUIET PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE ONLY UNWANTED NOISES I HEARD WAS SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MORE SILENT PASSAGES
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A HIGH SHEEN TO THE LAMINATE AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES. NO FOLDS OR BENDS
THERE ARE SEVEN TINY LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL FULLY LAMINATED AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING WHICH INCLUDES THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS ALL THERE AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE BOTH UNRUBBED. THERE ARE TWO L;LITTLE LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE IN THE MIDDLE. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES AGAINST THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECT LAMINATED INNER PAIR OF PANELS
THE FLIMSY PAPER LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. RARE FOR THIS INNER WHICH USUALLY SPLITS. A LITTLE BURRING TO THE TOP EDGE, BUT A PERFECT UNTORN THUMB NOTCH
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
