THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

BLUE GREY LABELS IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPE FACE IS IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION. THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB WHEN EXAMINED IN DAYLIGHT

EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY ONE OR TWO WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND TWO FINE  SURFACE HANDLING LINES, AND A SMALL STREAK OF EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES ON EACH SIDE (NON SOUNDING)

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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

I RECORDED IT IN MONO SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT AS WAS INTENDED

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO VIRTUAL PERFECTION. 

THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO HEAVY CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES. 

NO LOUD POPS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. JUST THE OCCASIONAL SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE STUFF

NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY AND ALMOST INAUDIBLE STATIC DUST TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAY THROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO !!!!!!!

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED SHOREWOOD SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. .

THREE OF THE FOUR CORNERS ARE PERFECTLY SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP END HAVING A SMALL DING

NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THERE IS A THIN SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONGSIDE THE SPINE

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL THE LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACES AND ALL OF THE CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT MINUS CONDITION. COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND ONLY A SMALL WAVE AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THE CORNER DING SITS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF TINY ROUGH PATCHES

THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND  NOT EVEN ANY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ANGLE IT INTO A STRONG LIGHT

THE ORIGINAL CARD PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION.NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES, JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF AGEING TO THE EDGES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!!  

 

 

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