THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES THE LP JUST SHOWS WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES 

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE , NOR ANY MORE THAN THE ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A FEW RANDOM TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE SLEEVE IS STILL PROTECTED BY THE SHRINK WRAP WHICH COVER VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE AREA, JUST A LITTLE PULLED BACK FROM THE OPENING EDGE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS ONLY ONE VISIBLE LIGHT CREASE LINE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

THERE ARE FOUR REALLY TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER . ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND UNDAMAGED. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PERFECT

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT FRONT. 

THE OPENING EDGE  HAS A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF ROUGHNESS AND A THUMB NAIL NICK

THE  INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION JUST LIGHTLY AGED

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
