ABSOLUTE FIRST OF THE PRESS
THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND IT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THE LABELS DO HAVE A FEW STRETCH MARKS WHERE THE LABEL WAS PRESSED ONTO THE VINYL AT THE FACTORY (THESE ARE ROUND THE HOLE)

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE, SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS REALLY SPOTLESS. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS . EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. AN ABSOLUTELY STAGGERING VINYL WITH PERHAPS A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, AND 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 RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DISTORTION CAUSED THROUGH GROOVE WEAR. A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH NOTES BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.

SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND ONLY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I HEARD NO MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN LITTLE DUST POPS/TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.THERE ARE NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES EITHER.

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LITTLE LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG EITHER OF THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.

THE AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND THE BLACK SURFACES SHOW NO RUBBING, APART FROM THE VERY TIP ENDS WHICH ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS THE ONLY AREA THAT SHOWS A LITTLE RUBBING, WHERE SOME WHITE IS SHOWING THROUGH THE BLACK TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, AND AT EACH TIP END. THERE IS SOME PARTIAL FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH TWO TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE. THIS SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE

THE THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION SHOWING ONLY A FEW MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A REALLY TINY LITTLE DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST ONE TINY LITTLE VINYL SPLIT ON ONE SIDE. THE TOP OPENING THUMB NOTCH IS PRISTINE, AND THE SURFACE OF THE INNER IS PRISTINE, UNRUBBED, AND UNWRINKLED

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT.

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