THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. DEEP RICH BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

 THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RETAINED, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, PLUS A COUPLE OF DULL EMBEDDED PATCHES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS.

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THIS EP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYBACK, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAN WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO 

THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND DEAD WAX AREAS, AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 LITTLE TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAY THROUGH

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS EX+

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOURS ,AND THERE IS NO RING JUST A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE

A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES

ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, OTHER THAN A PIN PRICK OF WHITE IN THE MIDDLE AND A SPECK ON THE CORNER TIPS

.THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE COLOURS ARE PRISTINE. THE TOP TIP END HAS A LITTLE RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT.

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+++

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