THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BROWN TYPEFACE AND PURPLE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . APART FROM a few wispy sleeve withdrawal 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 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 PERFECTLY 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 VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL TINY SPECK OF STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE,
THERE ARE ZERO!!! LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR WITH ONE TINY SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, WITH ONE SMALL FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION JUST UNDER THE TOP TIP. AGAIN ALL OF THE WHITE FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH THE TIPS BOTH UNBLEMISHED, THE BROWN AND WHITE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE CARD INNER SLEEVE WITH THE THUMB NOTCH IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
