THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION, THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED . 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO  LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT. OFFERING THE VINYL UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES NOT REVEAL ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOME TINY LITTLE SURFACE LINES, AND SOME FINE WISPY HAIRLINES.  SUPER LOOKING AND FAR BETTER THAN MOST YOU WILL COME ACROSS

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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISS-DESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. 

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 PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL 

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, 

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE CLEAN AND VIRTUALLY SILENT

THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND AND SOME LITTLE TICS AND POPS RANDOMLY THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

THE RECORDING IS STILL EXTREMELY CLEAN THROUGHOUT. 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS REPRODUCTION EX++++

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED FLIP BACK REAR E.J DAY SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR. NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER .A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING RECORD SHAPE ON THE LAMINATE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES AND NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR. THE CORNER TIPS HAVE LIGHT RIB, AND THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

THERE ARE THREE  MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION . ALMOST FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVING WEAR, AND THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE ALSO

THE SPINE IS FLAT CLEAN AND HAS NO SQUASHING. EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A LITTLE SPORADIC BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS WITH A LITTLE RIPPLE ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE BOTTOM ONE. THE WHITE SURFACE HAS A SMALL STAIN NEAR THE SPINE, BUT IS OTHERWISE STILL VERY WHITE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT , AND SPLIT FREE. NO HEAVY CREASES .

THERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1963 RECORD MIRROR DISCOGRAPHY THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED INTO THE SLEEVE

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT EX+
