THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE GREY AND BROWN  LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS ONLY ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF 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 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.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM THAT TO FIND ONE THAT DOESN'T PLAY WITH CRACKLE, CLICKS AND POPS IS A REAL RARITY

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND ONLY A LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW RANDOM SEMI SECONDS LIKE RIGHT AT THE START OF EACH SIDE BEFORE THE MUSIC KICKS IN AND IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

LIKE MOST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM THERE IS A LIGHT SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT RUNNING ALONG PARTS OF THE SPINE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, FRONT OR BACK

BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED

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

THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT.JUST ONE TINY LINE ON THE TOP EDGE AND THAT LAMINATE LIFT NEAR THE SPINE

THE OFTEN MISSING INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION
