THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS APART FROM A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS ON SIDE ONE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE!!!

THE VINYL

SUPERBLY GLOSSY AS NEW DISC WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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 MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS. 

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS

THIS FIRST PRESS PERFORMS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD WITH A REPRODUCTION THAT IS BOTH CLEAR, AND CRISP AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE BAREST OCCASIONAL SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH 

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT MINUS!!!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

 GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION.

THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND THUS THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR BENDS OR RINGWEAR. AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE TOTALLY PRISTINE AND SQUARE.

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE  SPINE. NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGE, AND NOT ONE THUMB LINE AT ALL EVEN NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN , AND RUN FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. ANOTHER SIGN THAT THIS HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW. EVEN THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS ONLY HAVE A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE

THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT.NOT ONE JOT OF RUBBING ANYWHERE,

THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION, WITH JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE

THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST MINT!! STRONG UNBLEMISHED CARD WITH THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES

THE POSTER IS ALSO IMMACULATE AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE HAS RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES, SO MUCH SO THAT IT WON'T OPEN FLAT WITHOUT FORCING IT, MEANING THAT THIS POSTER HAS NEVER BEEN FULLY OPENED

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
