THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER WWA LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO MINT AND UNRUBBED

I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE MEANING THAT THE LP COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES 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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I 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

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR AND LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO DUST POPS OR TICS

THERE IS THE VERY OCCASIONAL SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE 

 

TO ME THIS IS THE WORST TYPE OF SLEEVE FOR WEAR, DUE TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE .

HERE IS ONE THOUGH THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUB.

 

THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE..

 

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  NEAR MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ON THE EDGES ONLY

 

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRODUCED

 

 

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, JUST THREE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE

 

THE INSERT LYRIC INNER IS IN MINT CONDITION

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT. SOME LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES

 

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

 

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

GARRY
