THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PASTEL COLOURED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY WRITTEN THEIR INITIALS ON SIDE TWO
THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE 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 ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MORE SILENT SPOTS, AND 2-3 TINY STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT THE PLAY
YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A COPY THAT PLAYS BETTER THAN THIS ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SPINE ITSELF IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED , HOWEVER THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF THE PAPER AT THE VERY TOP THAT HAS BEEN SPLIT FROM THE SPINE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE AT SOME POINT . IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY REGLUED USING PAPER GLUE, RESULTING IN A COUPLE OF LINES ACROSS'S THE SURFACE. OTHER THAN THIS THERE IS JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED , WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST TWO LINES ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
