THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST HALF A DOZEN OR SO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . FAULTLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY POPS OR TICS DURING THE PLAY EITHER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE AND THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT,
NO FOLDS DINGS OR BENDS EITHER AND NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR
THE CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE TIPS
THERE IARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED ALL THE WAY ALONG WITH ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOWING A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING
THE BOTTOM EDGES SHOW SOME LIGHT SHELF RUB WITH MORE TO THE BACK RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE ONLY RUB IS A LITTLE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ON THE REAR SURFACE AND BURRED A LITTLE ON THE FRONT SURFACE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A VERY MILD OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE AND A COUPLE OF CREASES ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO CLEAN AND CREASE FREE INNER PANELS
THE LYRIC INSERT HAS A LIGHT CREASE LINE HALF WAY ACROSS
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
