THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UNRUBBED. THE GREEN TYPEFACE AND LOGO IS ALSO MINT . THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND ONLY WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE 

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 IN THE FIRM BELIEF 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 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 LP SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND FREE OF ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS SOME VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

NO DUST POPS OR CLICKS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO REPRODUCTION NEAR MINT !!!!

SO PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS


 

 

 

THE SLEEVE


NON LAMINATED SENOL MADE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THE COLOURS ARE ALL PRISTINE AND 100% UNRUBBED. 

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE SIX SMALL LINES AGAINST 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 ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE VERY TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS ALSO NEAR PRISTINE. SLIGHTLY OFF WHITE SURFACE WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE, AND THE TAPERED ENDS, WHICH HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE VERY TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE SHOWS A LIGHT SHADOW OF NATURAL HANDLING, AND A LIGHT STAIN ON THE LEFT SIDE BOTTOM CORNER

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE AGAIN HAS SOME NATURAL GLUE AGEING AND HANDLING, ONE CORNER CREASE, BUT REMAINS UNSPLIT

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT ++

 

 

 

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