THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE APPLE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. BOTH SIDES ARE IMMACULATE WITH THE WHITE SIDE IN PARTICULAR SHOWING NO FINGERMARKS. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS  VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S  ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES PERHAPS

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 NOW WITH ALL THE LP'S THAT I LIST. THIS IS 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 , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND.

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED VINYL JUST BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!!! I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED 

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY VINYL NOISE, JUST THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE QUIETER SPOTS

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE LITTLE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB MINT MINUS SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE

USUALLY FOUND IN POOR CONDITION, THIS SLEEVE IS HARD TO COLLECT IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE FRONT FLAPS OFTEN TEARING OR LOOKING VERY SHABBY AND WEAKLY ATTACHED TO THE SPINE

HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE EXAMPLE THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THE TWO EXPOSED THIN FRONT FLAPS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH ARE PROPERLY AFFIXED TO THE SPINE AND AT NO TIME HAVE THE BEEN BENT ROUND TO SIT ON THE REAR SURFACE TO MAKE UP THE PICTURE OF JOHN.

OPENING THE FLAPS EXPOSES THE WHOLE OF THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR OR RUBBING AT ANY POINT. THERE ARE NO LINES NEAR ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER.

THE OPENING EDGE ITSELF IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND RAZOR SHARP, AND THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THIS EDGE, FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE VINYL HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE SPINES ARE WAFER THIN ON BOTH SIDES AND AS SUCH CANT BE SQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE ON THE FLAP SIDE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIPS

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB  STATE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND AGAIN  NO SMALL LINES NEAR THE PERIMETER EDGES

NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE

THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. HAVING THE ROUNDED  CORNERS AND THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ALONG THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS

THE 8 PAGE FULL SIZED BOOKLET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NOT ONE CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON ANY SURFACE

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT !!!!!!

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