THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE THAN 3-4 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER.
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS . UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERYTHING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY
THIS ALBUM FEATURES SO MANY NEAR SILENT PASSAGES THAT ANY UNWANTED NOISE WOULD BE EVEN MORE DETECTABLE
THERE IS NO LOUD BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT WHATSOEVER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, JUST A FEW MINUSCULE STATIC TICS RANDOMLY HEARD
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL LIFT OR FLAKE AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE FIVE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE.
NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER JUST ONE THIN THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE . ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE MINT AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED AND LIKE THE TOP EDGE JUST PRISTINE ALL ACROSS WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, THE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVEN THE TAPERED TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP, WITH A LITTLE BURRING NEAR THE BOTTOM ON THE REAR EDGE
THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND ALL OF THE TEXT AND PICTURES ARE UNRUBBED, JUST SOME LIGHT HANDLING TO THE EDGES
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION . UNSPLIT AND STILL VERY WHITE. SOME LIGHT GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES AND A CORNER CREASE
