THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF 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 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.

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 VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, JUST SOME VERY  BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS AT THE RUN IN TO SIDE ONE

I HEARD NO  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT !!!!!

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

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE REASON BEING THAT THE DUSTY AND DELICATE BLUE SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND WORN AWAY AND RING WORN. PLUS IT IS FLIMSY AND VERY PRONE TO CREASING PARTICULARLY BY THE SPINE. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A COPY THAT IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

THE FRONT SURFACE ON THIS EMBOSSED SLEEVE IS JUSTSUPERB. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN THAT DOESN'T HAVE THAT DUST GREYING TO THE SURFACE WHERE THE RECORD IMPRESSION HAS STARTED TO WEAR AND RUB. IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND IS THE REASON FOR THIS INCREDIBLE SATE. THERE IS ONE TINY BROWN DOT JUST UNDER THE ENVELOPE BUT THATS ALL

THERE IS NOT ONE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. AGAIN UNHEARD OF. NONE NEITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES. NO THUMB LINES ALONG OR NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE BLUE RUNNING UNRUBBED FROM CORNER TO CORNER , AND ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION, WITH ONE TINY WHITE SPECK NEAR THE LEFT CORNER AND A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. JUST ONE VERY SLIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. AGAIN THE BLUE SURFACE IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE PIN PRICKS THE BOTTOM TIP AND ONE ON THE TOP TIP.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND EVEN FREE FROM ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT. RICH BLUE WITH NO VISIBLE GREYING . ONE TINY LITTLE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE

THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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