THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
A GLEAMING MARK FREE RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS 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
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND SHOULD BECAUSE THE DISC CLEARLY HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO LISTEN TO WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND A COUPLE OF TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT STATIC TICS
THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT AND NO LAMINATED REAR
BY MOORE & MATTHES PRINTING
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS CLEAN BRIGHT COLOURS THAT HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED
THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT . NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

SHARP SQUARE CORNERS WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THERE ARE SEVEN TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING ACCROSS THE SURFACE WITH THE CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE . THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A NICH WHITE SURFACE WITH SOME HANDLING / AGEING TO THE EDGES

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
