THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN A & M LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING SEE. A SUPERB MINT VINYL
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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS 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
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION
IN FACT THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER. EVEN THE SILENT PASSAGES ( AND THERE ARE MANY) ARE TOTALLY SILENT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!!
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH ' STAPLED ' BOOKLET
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. LIGHT PASTEL COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN AND UNMARKED. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER

THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING PRESENT AND UNRUBBED. THIS INCLUDES THE TIPS AS WELL. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE STAPLES ARE PERFECTLY IN PLACE NOT RUSTY OR LOOSE. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH ONE OR TWO PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK. THE RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE!!!
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT CONDITION INNER PANELS AND A PRISTINE CONDITION PERFECTLY AFFIXED BOOKLET
THE ORIGINAL WHITE DIE CUT SLEEVE IS FLAT CLEAN AND UNSPLIT,FLAT AND UNMARKED. NO CREASES OR WRINKLES
