THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE MAGENTA COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED.  THE COLOUR IS UNINTERRUPTED ALL THE WAY INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTE SPIDER LINES BY IT

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS. PRISTINE CLEAN RECORD THAT HAS NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 SUPERBLY 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 EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND OTHER THAN IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES AND EVEN THAT IS BARELY AUDIBLE

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS A VERY DELICATE COLOURING TO THE SURFACE AND THIS HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY PERFECT WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE.

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY TIDY WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

THERE ARE THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE MINUSCULE ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND  NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR 

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE LIGHT BLUE COLOUR INTACT WITH THE ONLY SPECK OF VERY LIGHT RUB SHOWING ON THE  CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT SQUASH POINTS, THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE ON THE SURFACE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS JUST FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS  IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE  SURFACE.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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