THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION , RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY UNRUBBED AND LEGIBLE, AND FINALLY THERE ARE NO MORE THAN TWO SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AGAIN SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS NO VISIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS A LITTLE DULLISHNESS NEAR THE INNER RIM ON SIDE TWO . THAT IS ALL NO WISPY HAIRLINES OR ANY OTHER MARK. STUNNING DISC
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND DISTORTION SO THIS SHOWS THAT WHAT PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH AN UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
I HAVE NEVER HAD A COPY OF THIS LP THAT HAS NOT HAD SOME EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THIS ONE HAS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE MAIN DURING THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. THE VINYL LOOKS MINT SO THERE IS NOTHING ON IT CAUSING THIS LIGHT BACKGROUND
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A FEW TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, PLUS A COUPLE OF DUST POPS, AGAIN NOT CAUSED BY ANY MARK ON THE DISC
THIS GRADES EXCELLENT ++
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL PRESS LTD. SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS AND JUST FIVE TINY LAMINATE LINES SITTING NEXT TO THE SPINE
TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATE AGAIN IS PERFECT AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. NO RUBBING TO EITHER TIP END, AND THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS VISIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT HAS HALF A DOZEN LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE BUT THAT'S ALL
THE POLY LINED INNER IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. VERY MILD AGEING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT NEAR MINT!!!
