THE RECORDS

THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS COLOURED DISC IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY 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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH IMPECCABLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND COULDN'T BE ANY CLEARER. EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES ON SIDE ONE WHICH HAVE A TINY SPECK OF VINYL NOISE EVIDENT AND A FEW TINY LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS ON SIDE TWO

I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THE LAMINATED SURFACE HAS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS TO THIS SURFACE  

NO RING WEAR AND ONLY THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION AT THE BOTTOM. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE JUST SIX TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE NO THUMB LINES NEAR IT

THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE YELLOW TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE STILL IN PRISTINE CONDITION

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, JUST SIX SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TNONE ALONG THE TOP AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE.
