THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 46 YEARS.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , A PRISTINE DISC
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 JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 MINUSCULE STATIC TICS
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED E.J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.
THIS SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND WITH LAMINATE STRETCH MARKS ALL OVER THE FRONT AND BACK, BUT THIS COPY IS JUST PERFECT
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ABSOLUTELY NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
ALL FOUR OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE. PERFECT UNDAMAGED LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, JUST THREE TINY LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS, WITH AN ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING SURFACE. THERE ARE TWO SMALL LAMINATE STRETCH LINES, ONE ON EACH PANEL
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
