THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I AM STRUGGLING TO SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE WHATSOEVER AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED AND FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.

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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I BELIEVE 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT , BOTH LOUD AND CRISP, IT PERFORMS WITHOUT A JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC SPECKS IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES

THERE ARE ZERO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT !!!

 

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PRESS GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, STAINS, CREASES, CREASE LINES, DENTS, DINGS OR RUBBING.

THERE ARE ZERO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A VERY THIN PRESSURE LINE RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE SURFACE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ABOUT ON AND A HALF INCHES IN FROM THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR . AGAIN THIS IS AN AREA WHERE MOST COPIES ARE BADLY RUBBED. THIS ONE HAS ALL OF THE  COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE BOTTOM REAR RIGHT CORNER.

THE SPINE IS UNSQUASHED 'FLAT SHAPE' AGAIN NORMALLY FOUND CRUSHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE AS IS THE REST OF THE COLOURING AND TYPEFACE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS TONELINE AGAINST THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT, WITH A CREASE TO ONE BOTTOM CORNER

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE   MINT MINUS
