THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED AND WHITE BLOCK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES FROM THE CARD INNERS
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 BRILLIANTLY 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 WHATSOEVER, AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND INA COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE ZERO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
ON THAT BASIS I GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND 99% OF THE RICH COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED. THE TOP LEFT CORNER HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUB TO IT, AND THE TOP RIGHT TIP AND TINY DING. THE BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THEM
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL STRESS LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM VIRTUALLY ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE COLOURS RUNNING FROM CORNER CORNER TIP, WITH ONLY THE TOP ENDS HAVING A SPECK OF RUB AND A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHIUTE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, THE TOP END HAS A LITTLE WEAR AND RUB, AND THERE ARE NEAR INVOSBLE FLECKS OF WHOITE ON THE LEADING EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE BURRING IN PATCHES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE, CREASE FREE CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX++++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
