THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID MAUVE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE 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 .

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 NO STATIC AT ANY POINT EITHER. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE DEATHLY SILENT

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY  DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

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.

THERE IS ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO  THE TOP OF THE SPINE  ,THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE, AND THREE PIN PRICKS OF BROWN UNDER SURFACE SHOWING THROUGH TOWARDS THE LEFT CORNER. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS.

THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH THREE OR FOUR MICROSCOPIC PIN PRICKS VISIBLE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE PICS I HAVE TAKEN ARE IN MACRO SO LOOK FAR BIGGER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE TO THE NAKED EYE.

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. THREE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THE FIRST ISSUE PLAIN BLACK POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE  IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO SPLITS.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE  NEAR MINT !!!

 

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