THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION CANNOT FIND ONE SPIDER LINE ON ANY OF THE 4 SIDES. THE LP SET HAS UNTIL TODAY NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE, I COULD STILL FEEL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE AS I PLACED THE DISCS ONTO MY TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE BOTH ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 AS I DO 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

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED SET, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT. I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

THIS SET FIRST OF ALL HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION. I AM CERTAIN THE ORIGINAL MASTERS MUST HAVE BEEN USED TO PRODUCE THE CLEANLINESS OF THIS SOUND

THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE APART FROM A LITTLE STATIC LIKE STUFF IN TRACK ONE SIDE TWO, AND ONLY THE BAREST ODD SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS

NO DUST POPS AT ALL

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, AS MOST COPIES YOU WILL EVER FIND WILL HAVE HUGE WHITE CREASE LINES RUNNING OUTWARDS FROM THE SPINE. THE BASE COLOUR IS VERY UNFORGIVING TO ANY CREASE WHATSOEVER, BUT HERE WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL COPY. THIS IS ALSO THE SLEEVE WITHOUT THE BARCODE INDICATIONG A FIRST ISSUE

THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF IT'S LIFE WHICH IS WHY IT HAS REMAINED IN THIS INCREDIBLE STATE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND NO RUBBING. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO FOLDS OR BENDS

THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, JUST ONE LIGHT LINE AT THE BOTTOM.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION WITH JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT TIP END

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH TWO TINY WHITE LINES ON THE SURFACE AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP.

THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SET HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT,WITH JUST ONE INDENT LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER SURFACES WITH A FEW LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES EITHER SIDE OF THE TOP OF THE SPINE

THE TWO PLAIN WHITE EMI INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH UNSPLIT. TOTALLY WHITE AND PERFECTLY FLAT

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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