THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS ZERO SPIDER LINES NEXT TO IT 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO  REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS 

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SHOREWOOD GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE GOLD EMBOSSED DEMONSTRATION ONLY STAMP ON THE REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT DOES HAVE A SMALL TEAR TO THE FRONT EDGE JUST BELOW THE TEXT IN THE RIGHT CORNER. CLEARLY AN ERRANT THUMB APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE. THE TEAR IS  ABOUT 1/4 INCH

THE GOLD ONENESS STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER

THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE  BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE COLOURS HAVE A FEW WHITE FLECKS ON THE LEADING EDGES, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE RUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL FRAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. 

THE REAR NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS STILL FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE SINE FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE UPWARDS FOR 3 INCHES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD SHOWS THE LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE RIGHT PANEL NEAR THE SPINE, BUT OTHER THAN THAT IS LOOKS NEAR PERFECT

THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, SHOWS THE IMPRESSION WHERE THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE WAS EMBOSSED WITH THE PROMO STAMP. NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS

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