THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB MOUNTAIN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW.THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS MARKS, JUST A SMALL HANDLING MARK WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEE N UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AND EVEN THEN ITS SUPERFICIAL, AND A FEW WISPS
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 DECIDED WITH ALL LISTINGS WHERE PRACTICAL TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A 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 ACTUALY HEAR THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. THE EXTRA TIME THIS TAKES ME TO COMPLETE THIS WILL I HOPE ENABLE POTENTIAL BIDDERS TO WANT TO COME BACK TO LISTEN TO MORE
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 WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE ONE PLAY THAT IT HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY GRADED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES EITHER, AND GENERATES A REAL POWERHOUSE STEREO SOUND. PERHAPS THE TINIEST BIT OF STATIC FOR THE ODD SECOND WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD WHEN THERE IS NO MUSIC IF AT ALL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE SLEEVE HAS THAT POWDERY SURFACE COLOURING TO IT WHICH HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE COLOUR LOSS AND RING WEAR, WHICH USUALLY MAKES THE SLEEVE LOOK TATTY
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH OFTEN HAS SERIOUS COLOUR LOSS, IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR. THE COLOURS BEING DEFINED ACCROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE..IN ADDITION THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. INCREDIBLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR HERE, NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE. AND THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL DENT IN THE MIDDLE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE JUST THE MILDEST TRACE OF SHELF WEAR,JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH.
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION. NO MAJOR COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE VERY BOTTOM TIP SHOWS MINISCULE RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES, NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE,AGAIN HAS RETAINED THE ORIGNAL COLOURS AND IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE PANELS
THE ORIGINAL CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
