THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
A MAGNIFICENT SET OF LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL, LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MOTE THAN 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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS,AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE EXACT RECORD BEFORE DECIDING TO LAY ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY, WITH A CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS A LITTLE EMBEDDED STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE WHICH CAN BE HEARD DURING SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. NO CAUSED BY ANY MARK ON THE VINYL WHATSOEVER JUST IN THE PRESS!
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL GRADES NEAR MINT, BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED ROBOR GATEFOLD FIRST PRESS SLEEVE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.HAVING BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FROM NEW IT IS TRULY A MINT EXAMPLE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL ONES THAT GATHER CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO JUST HOW CAREFULLY IT HAS BEEN HANDLED IF AT ALL
THE WHITE SURFACE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE JUST MINT!!
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, NO RUBBING AND EVEN THE CORNER TIP ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITON AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND UNCREASED, AND THIS AGAIN SHOWS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT !!!
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
