THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED. THERE ARE ALSO SHARDS OF VINYL AROUND THE HOLE ON SIDE TWO
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY NON SOUNDING SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISS DESCRIBE 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 ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, APART FROM HALF A DOZEN RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS DURING SIDE TWO
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!! FOR SIDE ONE AND EX++ FOR SIDE TWO
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
1ST ISSUE GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND TOTALLY UN-RUBBED OR SHELFWORN. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE
THE ALL IMPORTANT SILVER BORDERS ARE JUST IMMACULATE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND HAS THEREFORE PROTECTED THIS VERY DELICATE SURFACE FROM ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST PRISTINE. NO COLOUR LOSS AND PERFECT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED . THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE .. THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK IN THE MIDDLE AND GIVES MORE EVIDENCE TO THE FACT THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST ONE TINY LINE AGAINST THE SPINE NEAR THE BOTTOM
THE HEAVY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
