THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES 

 

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
A PRISTINE MINT VINYL


THE TEST PLAY


AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. 

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1973 WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.

THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES 

THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. JUST THE ODD VERY TINY SPECK OF LOW LEVEL STATIC IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO

I CAN'T SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO GRADES MINT MINUS 

TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY PRISTINE HAVING A DEEP RICH GREEN-BLUE SURFACE

ONE TINY DOT OF UNDERCARD VIUSIBLE ON THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER 

IT IS IMMACULATE WITHOUT ANY BLEMISHES. NO CREASES, CREASE LINES FOLDS OR BENDS

 THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

 NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE. FOUR SQUARE AND SHARP CORNERS, WITH JUST A DAB OF RUB

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH TWO PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE AND A TINY SPECK ON EACH CORNER
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A TINT SPECK RUB TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT CORNER AREA

THE SPINE IS FLAT, HAS NO SQUASHING, PERFECT TEXT AND COLOUR WITH DOT OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND BEAUTIFULL UNRUBBED COLOURS. 

THE LYRIC INSERT IS MINT

THIS SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE IN EVERY WAY AND EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

 

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