THE LABELS

THE  BLACK AND WHITE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE ZERO !!!! SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IS THERE A SHADOW OF CLOUDINESS VISIBLE ON THE LAST THIRD OF EACH SIDE, AND A FEW 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 FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH 

THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES AND SILENT PASSAGES TOWARD'S THE END OF SIDE TWO

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

I HEARD ONLY TWO DUST POPS/TICS AND THESE ARE IN THE LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN TRACKS THREE AND FOUR ON SIDE ONE

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT MINUS!!!

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

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SHRINKWRAPPED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND FLAT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY DEEP CREASE LINES EITHER,AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE

THROUGH THE SHRINKWRAP I CAN FEEL THAT THERE ARE ZERO LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED

ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SUPERB WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE  WITHOUT BLEMISH. JUST A  SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP WHERE IT IS EXPOSED FROM THE SHRINK

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED, PLUS NO COLOUR LOSS WHICH INCLUDES THE TIP ENDS. ALL THE  BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED,AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OF ANY DESCRIPTION ANYWHERE, JUST A TINY DING TO THE CORRESPONDING BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE BLACK DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN SLEEVE IS ALSO IMMACULATE. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT !!!!!!

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