THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE VERTIGO LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE.
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 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 ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, JUST SOME VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE TOTALLY SILENT PASSAGES. I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH. I STRESS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT IT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN MINT OR VERY CLOSE TO IT TO BE LISTENABLE
THIS RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND HAS TO GRADE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO MINT MINUS!!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
RARER TEXTURED VARIANT SINGLE SLEEVE
A MINT SLEEVE WITH A FRONT SURFACE THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. THE YELLOW SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION
THERE ARE ZERO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE YELLOW SURFACE AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE YELLOW SURFACE IS MINT ALL THE WAY, INCLUDING THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT.
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN INNER HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A W.H SMITH POLY LINED INNER FROM THE SAME ERA
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
