THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. . THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE CREAMY WHITE AREAS ARE BEAUTIFULLY WHITE, AGAIN NO MAN MADE MARKS, THERE ARE JUST TWO REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED, AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK REALLY HARD TO SEE THEM AT ALL
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 TAKEN THE DECISION TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS LONG BEEN A VALID POINT THAT BUYING ON EBAY CAN BE A LOTTERY AND THAT AN ITEM DESCRIBED AS MINT WILL OFTEN TURN UP AND PLAY VERY POORLY, GIVING SELLERS A BAD NAME AND WORSE STILL A TOTAL MISTRUST OF BUYING. WELL I HOPE TO ADDRESS THIS BY ALLOWING POTENTIAL BIDDERS TO HERA THE WHOLE LP, INCLUDING ALL THE LINKING GROOVES AND RUN INS. I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THIS EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT IS WELL WORTH WHILE
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMOSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND. THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRIPSLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION. YES THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE AND ABOUT TWO TINY DUST POPS THOUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY, BUT IT IS THE MUSIC THAT IS HEARD PROPERLY WITHOUT BACKGROUND CRACKLES ETC, BUT PLEASE LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED, NO FLAKE , PEEL, OR LIFT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, AND NO LIGHT ONES EITHER, AND AMAZINGLY NONE OF THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER NEAR THE SPINE. NOR ARE THYERE ANY ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGE EITHER. AND TO TOP IT OFF NO THUMB NAIL LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE SLEEVE IS AS PERFECT AS YOU COULD WISH TO FIND
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE COVER HAS BEEN PRESERVED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THIS YOU CAN TELL THE RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
REMARKABLY THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MINT STATE AS THE FRONT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COPY OF THIS IN SUCH A PRISTINE CONDITION
THE VERY FIRST ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM HAD A LYRIC INNER SLEEVE, WHICH THIS ONE HAS. THIS SLEEVE HAS THE LYRICS TO ALL OF THE TRACKS AS WELL AS THE BAND PERSONNEL. THE INNER IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO DAMAGE TO THE OPENING EDGE, JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT CREASE LINES
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
