THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE A IS IN MINT CONDITION, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS COLOUR WHATSOEVER. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE WHITE SIDE OF THE LABEL IS PURE WHITE AND HAS NO MARKS ON IT AT ALL. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON THIS ALBUM. IT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON IT AT ALL, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF REALLY 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 FOUR COMPLETE TRACKS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
THE LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISES. CERTAINLY NO CLICKS AND NO FRYING BACON. A COUPLE OF RANDOM DUST POPS HERE AND THERE, AND THE VERY OCCASIONAL SECOND OR TWO OF LIGHT BACKGROUND VINYL NOISE OR STATIC, WHERE THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE DURING THE RUN IN TO SIDE ONE WHICH IS THE FIRST RECORDING SO YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR EVERYTHING
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS
THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF LOOKING VERY TATTY, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO LAMINATE TO PROTECT ROUGH AND THUS DELICATE BRWN TEXTURED SURFACE. WHAT IS CAN SAY IS THAT THE ONLY WEAR IS IN THE FORM OF SOME LIGHT RING WEAR WHICH SHOWS UP AS A LIGHT GREY DUSTY EFFECT AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES. THE CENTRE LOGO ON THE FRONT SURFACE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE ALL REMAIN UNRUBBED THOUGH
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE VERY LIGHT ONE HALF WAY ACCROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNWORN AND HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE BROWN COLOURING
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE BROWN SURFACE IS THERE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS THAT THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK
THE REAR SURFACE IS CLEAN AND FLAT AND AGAIN HAS NO HEAVY CREASES ETC
THE DELICATE SLEEVE GRADES A STRONG EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLIS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
