THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW SIRE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THERE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE DEMONSTRATING THE LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED

 

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL YELLOW VINYL DISC IN GLOSSY CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE.IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES,AND A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED DULLISH STREAKS 

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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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

THE SUPERB 1ST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS LOUD AND MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER.

THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAN, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND AND THE ONLY STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND CAN BE BARELY HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD 3-4 TINY DUST POPS THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

FOR ME THIS GRADES NEAR MINT!!!! WITH EASE

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

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

SEMI LAMINATED  SINGLE SLEEVE

 

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND LOOKS SUPERB. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AT ALL, AND NO RING WEAR.

THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. EIGHT ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE REALLY TINY THUMB LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE.

 

THE TOP EDGE IS STILL SUPERBLY RICH WITH COLOUR AND ONLY THE VERY RIGHT TIP END SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TIPS HAVING A SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH

 

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY WITH JUST ONE TINY DENT ON THE TOP EDGE. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

 

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND EVEN FREE OF ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS

 

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT WITH JUST TWO TINY LITTLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE BEING AND THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE SHOWING IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT

 

THE ORIGINAL LYRIC CARD INNER IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS, AND  THE TOP EDGE IS UNDAMAGED. NO MARKS OR STAINS

 

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!

 

 

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

GARRY
