THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE 2 TONE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 2-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED. 

 

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISS DESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

THERE ARE A FEW TINY STATIC TICS AS WELL ON SIDE TWO

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT

PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

1ST ISSUE SHOREWOOD UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND TOTALLY UN-RUBBED OR SHELFWORN. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.THE FOUR CORNERS ONLY HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE TIPS

THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, BUT THERE IS A REALLY TINY TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE EXTREMELY MINIMAL AND VERY LIGHT SKELF RUB TO TINY SPECKS ALONG THE EDGE. I HAD TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO SPOT THEM

THE SPINE HAS A SMALL DENT IN THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB. THE REST OF THE SPINE IS PERFECT

THE OPENING EDGE IHAS SOME LIGHT BURRING AND AS PRECIOUSLY MENTION A REALLY MINUTE TEARS TO THE FRONT EDGE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST ONE TINY LINE AGAINST THE SPINE 

THE HEAVY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!!

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