THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE EPIC LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE, AND ON SIDE TWO THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW.IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE APART FROM A FEW VERY LIGHT DULLISH STREAKS (TOTALLY NON SOUNDING)
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH 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
I ALSO DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED ALBUM, PURELY BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT!!
I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
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. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND SHOWS OFF THE POWER THAT THIS BAND GENERATES.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITH A VERY LOUD AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
I HEARD NO STATIC ANYWHERE AND NO DUST POPS EITHER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE ONLY REASON THIS SLEEVE DOESN'T GRADE MINT MINUS IS BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO CREASE LINES IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER WHERE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN BENT AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE. OTHER THAN THIS AND A LITTLE WEAR ON THE SPINE THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.
THE FRONT SURFACE ONLY HAS A SLIVER OF GREYING JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT OTHERWISE ALL OF THE JET BLACK COLOUR REMAINS UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
APART FROM THE TWO CREASE LINES I HAVE MENTIONED THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY MINT WITH THE ONLY SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING APPEARS ON THE TOP RIGHT TIP END. EVERYWHERE ELSE IS JET BLACK
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFFS ON THE BOTTOM END ACROSS SOME OF THE LETTERS OF ' CLEVELAND INTERNATIONAL '. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ALSO HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THEM
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE , NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE,AGAIN HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT. THE TWO CREASE LINES ON THE FRONT ARE NOT VISIBLE ON THE REAR SURFACE , JUST ONE VERY LIGHT OUTLINE OF A CREASE BUMP.
THE TOP RIGHT CORNER HAS THE GOLD EMBOSSED PROMO STAMP SITUATED OVER THE BAR CODE
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE / LYRIC INNER INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL NEAR MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION. JUST ONE CORNER CREASE
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
