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 ONE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CANNOT SEE ANY.

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, A TRULY PRISTINE AND MINT CONDITION ALBUM

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 DECIDED TO GIVE THIS UNPLAYED SET A CAREFUL TEST PLAY, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!!!

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 NO LIGHT STATIC EITHER

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

I AM CERTAIN THIS SET COULD NOT BE BETTERED!!!

THE SLEEVE

ORIGINAL WEST BROTHERS UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.

THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW!! 

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.

NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE. YOU COULD BE EXCUSED FOR THINKING THIS SLEEVE HAD JUST BEEN PRINTED, IT IS THAT GOOD

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ALONG THE  BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER. JUST IMMACULATE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY MINT!! THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE CORNER TIPS, APART FROM A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE VERY BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END.

THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT!! TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. . THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE ALSO PERFECT

THE OPENING 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 NO LINES ANYWHERE

THE HEAVY PAPER LYRIC INSERT IS THE ONLY THING LESS THAN MINT AS IT HAS A FEW LIGHT AND NEAR INVISIBLE FOXING MOTTLES ON THE PAPER. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAM AND NO DAMAGE TO THE DIE CUT HOLE. THE GLUE HAS STARTED TO AGE SLIGHTLY TOP AND BOTTOM

THIS IS A PERFECT SLEEVE AND I DON'T BELIEVE COULD BE BETTERED SO FOR ME IT MINT!!!
