THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE IS NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ONLY.
THE VINYL
INCREDIBLE GLOSSY CONDITION VINYL, THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES THAT HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE PERFORMANCE WHATSOEVER,
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 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 SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .
EVERY NOTE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS ALBUM CAN BE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED. THIS IS AN IMMACULATE FIRST PRESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE ONE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS
I HEARD A SPECK OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.
USUALLY THIS SLEEVE IS FOUND WITH THE COLOURS RUBBED, AND HEAVY RINGWEAR, AND IN ADDITION MAJOR CREASES.
THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION!!!
THE DELICATE GREY COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE. JUST A TINY SPECK OF HANDLING TO THE TOP EDGE
THERE ARE JUST SIX LITTLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THERE IS NO RINGWEAR AT ALL EITHER, AND NO RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHICH AGAIN USUALLY SUFFER TERRIBLY FROM SHELFWEAR, ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF WEAR AT ALL, APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHICH HAS THREE SMALL WHITE PIN PRICKS SHOWING THROUGH. EVERY OTHER INCH TOP AND BOTTOM IS MINT!!!
THE SPINE IS THE ONE AREA THAT HAS SOME LIGHT BLEMISHES. A COUPLE OF THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE HAVE CREPT ROUND ONTO THE SPINE AND THERE ARE AFEW TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW LIGHT RUBBING AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL PATCHES OF LOST COLOUT JUST BELOW THE MID POINT OF THE SPINE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PROPERLY LEGIBLE HOWEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR WHARP WITH JUST A LITTLE ROUGHNESS TO IT NEAR THE BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN UNRUBBED, AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE BOTOM EDGE, AND TWO MICROSCOPIC ONES NEAR THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL RED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND FLAT. UNCREASED AND UNWRINKLED.
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
