THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE SILVER LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 1984 1ST PRESS HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN A CLEAN AND SHINY CONDITION AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW NON SOUNDING DULL STREAK LINES EMBEDDED IN THE DISC

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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL OF THE VINYL THAT I LIST. I AM CERTAIN BIDDERS OUT THERE WILL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON RATHER THAN LEAVE IT TO POT LUCK.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED 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.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS BOTH UNWORN, AND TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT.

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

NO VINYL NOISE JUST SOME VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC HEARD ONLY IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND RUN IN 

OTHER THAN THIS THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO HEAVY CLICKS

I DON'T BELIEVE I HEARD ANY DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOUR SELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED BUT SHINY SINGLE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. AND THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. 

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RINGWEAR TO THE COVER, AND INCREDIBLY NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER, EVEN WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THEM

THERE ARE FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE,ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS NUMEROUS LITTLE SCUFFS TO THE SURFACE MAINLY NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER AND IS THE WORST AREA OF THE SLEEVE. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS NORMAL LIGHT SHELF RUB WITH A LITTLE AT THE CORNER TIPS AS WELL

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. AGAIN THERE ARE A FEW TINY SPECKS OF UNDER CARD VISIBLE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS  STILL SHARP WITH SOME MILD BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION AS THE FONT

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+

 

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