THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION.  THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UN-RUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS, BUT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN SEE NUMEROUS EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES, ALL OF WHICH HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND. IN ADDITION THERE ARE NUMEROUS WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, AND A FEW SURFACE HANDLING LINES (NOT SCRATCHES)

THE RECORD LOOKS LIKE IT WILL NOT PLAY TO THE NEAR MINT GRADE I HAVE DESCRIBED THE SOUND AS, BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE SURFACE WISPS, BUT PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND YOU WILL HEAR THAT DESPITE THESE WISPS, THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 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 PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT AND VERY OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY STATIC TICS / DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  NEAR MINT!!!     IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ENVELOPE STYLE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR .NO LINES, CREASES, OR BENDS AND STAINS, NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

THE DELICATE PASTEL BLUE SURFACE DOES HAVE SOME EVIDENCE IF NATURAL HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHICH IS SITUATED AROUND THE EDGES

THE SPINE HERE IS THE EDGE WITH THE FLAP, AND AGAIN THERE IS SOME HANDLING TO THE PASTEL BLUE COLOUR, BUT IMPORTANTLY THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE HINGE IS STILL IN ONE PIECE AND NOT SPLIT OR TORN

VERY UNUSUALLY THE TAB SECTION OF THE FLAP WHICH TUCKS INTO THE SLOT ON THE BACK IS STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION. MANY I HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN BADLY CREASED OR TOWN

THE OTHER THREE EDGES ARE ALL IN GREAT CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE, AGAIN JUST SOME LIGHT HANDLING

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME NICE CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION . IT DOES HAVE MANY FOXING MOTTLES ON IT THOUGH

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE  EX!!!

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