THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE OCHRE COLOURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS NOT MORE THAN ONE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY MINT DISC . IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, OTHER THAN FIVE 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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF 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
I GUARANTEE THIS TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
INCREDIBLE!!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE REPRODUCTION. SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT PERFORM TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A SPECK OF STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS
AND NOT ONE DUST POP THROUGH EITHER SIDE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL WEST BROTHERS UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND THE MULTICOLOURED SURFACE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO RUBBING AND NO LOSS OF THE RICH, VIBRANT COLOURS ANYWHERE OTHER THAN A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS
NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE.
THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR MINT!! THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING , APART FROM A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.
THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT!! TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. . THE WHITE SURFACE HAS AGED AND IS A LIGHTER BROWN SHADE AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, JUST PERFECT COLOURS AND JUST THREE SMALL LINES AGAINST THE SPINE
THE HEAVY PAPER LYRIC INSERT IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY CREASES
THE PLAIN INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAM AND NO DAMAGE YO THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS NATURAL AGEING TO THE SURFACE
