THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES,AND IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION DOES THE LP SHOW A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING LAYING A BID ON, AND IT'S 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 LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A STYLUS WORN OR TOO HEAVY EITHER
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
AN OUTSTANDING 1ST PRESS, IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF

NON LAMINATED ROBERT STACE ORIGINAL SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND IMPORTANTLY THE THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A FEW SPECKS OF WHITE AGAIN SHOWING THROUGH THE JET BLACK WITH TIP END RUB TO TOP AND BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF ITS DELICATE BLACK COLOUR WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP EDGE AND OPENING EDGE
