THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 8-10 TINY SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS  CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS FLAWLESS. AND ONLYWHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE NUMEROUS LITTLE WISPY HAIRLINES, A FEW LIGHT HANDLING LINES AND A TINY SCUFF

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 JUST KNOW 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.

THERE IS NO  HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER.

A CRISP AND CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THE ONLY MINOR NOISE CAN BE HEARD AS EXTREMELY MILD LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND BEHIND THE MUSIC

THERE ARE NO DUST POPS , JUST A FEW STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAYBACK

SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT +++

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR, GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY  FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

 

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

 

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB

 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS

 

THE LAMINATED SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE MINT AND THE TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TOP BOTTOM AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

 

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS A LITTLE NATURAL ROUGHNESS TO THE SURFACE

 

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED AND UNDAMAGED FLIPBACKS. THERE IS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF AGEING TO THE WHITE SURFACE AND A LITTLE HANDLING TO THE EDGES.

 

THE ADVERTISING ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT,AGAIN SOME LIGHT NATURAL AGEING 

 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS MINT MINUS

 

 

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

GARRY
