THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY MORE THAN ONE THE MOST INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE ON SIDE TWO, SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WITHDRAWAL LINES ON THE SURFACE OF THE DISC. THESE ARE TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL AND CAN ONLY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE PAPER INNER.
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. I HAVE LONG BELIEVED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES THERE IS THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS .
A COUPLE OF THE CORNER TIPS ARE VERY LIGHTLY RUBBED.
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF RUBBING, AN PARTICULARLY NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD IMPRESSION
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. NO RUBBING TO EITHER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. FULL COLOUR FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, NO BLEMISHES. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A TINY BURR IN THE MIDDLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL PATCHES OF LAMINATE FLAKE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER WHERE THE TOP SURFACE HAS PARTLY COME AWAY.
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
