THE FINAL SWEET ALBUM FEATURING BRIAN CONNOLLY

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED 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 ARE JUST TWO OR THREE SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND LOOKS SUPERB. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS UNMARKED, AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SURFACE LINES

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 RECENTLY MADE THE DECISION TO PLAY ALL OF MY ALBUMS FROM START TO FINISH IN ORDER TO FULLY SATISFY THE NEEDS OF BUYERS WHO ARE OFTEN LOATHE TO PLACE A BID ON AN ALBUM FOR FEAR OF MISDESCRIPTION. HERE THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SIT AND LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM BEFORE MAKING UP YOU MIND. IT TAKES FAR LONGER TO DO THIS BUT I BELIEVE IT IS WORTH THE EXTRA EFFORT

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. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. RIGHT AT THE START OF EACH SIDE THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE DURING THE RUN IN, BUT THATS ALL, NOTHING REALLY

THE ONLY OTHER STUFF WOULD BE A COUPLE OF SPOTS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF RANDOM PLACES AND TWO OR THREE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE AND IS JUST AS NEW!!.

I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE ALBUMS WHERE THE SLEEVE IS CREASED AND THE LAMINATE DULL AND UNCARED FOR. THIS COPY IS  AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER GET

THE FRONT SURFACE JUST MAGNIFICENT, INCREDIBLE EVEN AND GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THIS IS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE FROM NEW. . THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT ONES OR THE REALLY SMALL ONES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.(APART FROM TWO MINISCULE ONES) THERE IS NO RING WEAR NOR IS THERE EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE. NO BENDS OR FOLDS OF ANY NATURE. NO LAMINATE LIFT ANYWHERE WHATSOEVER. THE ONLY LITTLE BLEMISH IS A SMALL DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER MUST HAVE LET IT FALL ONTO THIS POINT. IT IS VERY SMALL BUT THERE NONTHELESS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL.AGAIN THIS IS BECAUSE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, UNSCUFFED, UNMARKED, FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. AND NO LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR SPLIT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS GLEAMING AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THERE IS NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT ALL ANYWHERE, JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE EDGES

AS I TRIED TO OPEN THE GATEFOLD IT BECAUSE CLEAR THAT THIS HAD NEVER BEEN FULLY OPENED BECAUSE THE LAMINATE IS SO TIGHT THAT IT CANNOT LAY PERFECTLY FLAT. I HAVE LEFT IT IN THIS CONDITION AS IT SHOWS JUST WHY THIS OUTER SURFACE IS AS MAGNIFICAENT AS IT IS

THE PICTURE AND LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE MINT CONDITION, HAVING NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MAYBE MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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