THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE MATT ORANGE 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 JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE ON SIDE TWO ONLY

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 .

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, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO VIRTUALLY THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE. THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE AND I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

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

PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE  FROM EURO-ALBUMS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR MARKS ANYWHERE, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND AMAZINGLY NOT EVEN ONE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. VERY UNUSUAL AS MOST HAVE MANY CREASE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ETHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. A COUPLE OF LIGHT INDENT LINES BUT THATS ALL

THERE IS JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE LIGHT SHELF WEAR, WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIPS RUBBED

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE SOME RANDOM PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE VERY LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THERE IS NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT ALL ANYWHERE.TWO TINY LINES NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE, AND THE ORIGINAL UK SHOP STICKER IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS. JUST A SHADOW OF LIGHT GREYING AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE

THE LYRIC INNER SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
