THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TAN COLOURED BRONZE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND UNSTAINED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS A POLISHED MIRROR SHEEN TO IT, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY MAY WELL BE THINKING OF BIDDING ON.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THE SUPERB ORCHESTRAL POP ROCK SOUND OF THE MANFREDS COMES THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR WITH NO UNWANTED EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS FLIMSY UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THIS COPY HAS REMAINED IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION FROM NEW, AND HAS CLEARLY BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR A MOST OF IT'S LIFE.
FLAT AND CLEAN WITH NO CREASES AND NO BENDS,THIS IS A VERY VULNERABLE SLEEVE AND EVERY COPY THAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS I HAVE REJECTED BECAUSE OF HOW POOR THE SLEEVE LOOKED.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. INCREDIBLY NO RINGWEAR AT ALL AND NOT EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE.
THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. ALL OF THE EASILY WORN BROWN SURFACE IS THERE AND UNBLEMISHED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE RIGHT TIP END . THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL AND AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THE RIGHT TIP HAS AN EVEN SMALLER SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT DIMPLES ON THE SURFACE. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. NO MARKS, OR STAINS AND NO WEAR EVEN AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS IN MINT RAZOR SHARP CONDITION AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO CREASES OR BENDS, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER ON THIS SIDE, JUST TWO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED. NO AGEING OR WEAR WHATSOEVER
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
