THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE COLOURED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE! TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND THAT'S ALL!

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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS 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 VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

A TINY SPECK OF FACTORY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT THE START OF SIDE ONE, JUST SOME VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES.

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED SHRINKWRAPPED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE. THE SHRINKWRAP IS TIGHT, BUT NOT TIGHT ENOUGH TO HAVE BENT THE SLEEVE. THE SHRINK IS PULLED BACK AT THE OPENING EDGE. THE HMV STICKER IS STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE UNDER THE SHRINK.

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR PRISTINE AND TOTALLY UNMARKED AND UNRUBBED. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE PERFECT

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. . AGAIN THE BLUE SURFACE IS  PERFECT  . NO COLOUR LOSS, NO RUBBING TO THE TIP ENDS, AND PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND EVEN FREE FROM ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT WITH THREE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE

THE CARD PICTURE / LYRIC  INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!

 

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

GARRY
