THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE TEAL TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND IT SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THERE IS ONE TINY FACTORY NICK TO THE LABEL ON RECORD TWO SIDE ONE RIGHT AT THE TOP
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.BOTH DISCS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.
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.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST THE ODD RANDOM SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS PRISTINE. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER. NEITHER IS THERE ANY GRUBBINESS TO THE DELICATE CREAM COLOUR, AND NOT ONE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.NO DAMAGE OR WEAR TO EITHER TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS.
THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT WITH JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT INNER SLEEVES
THE HEAVY CARD INNER SLEEVES ARE THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM, AND ARE BOTH MINT!! PERFECT AND, UNSPLIT AND UNMARKED. NO CREASES OR EVEN CREASE LINES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
