THE LABELS

THE WHITE AND BLACK EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE ZERO!!! SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE NONE TO BE SEEN

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS STILL RESIDUE VINYL STUCK TO THE SPINDLE HOLE THIS WOULD HAVE WORN OFF IF THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES. ALSO THE VINYL WAS VERY TIGHT WHEN PLACED ONTO MY SPINDLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ALMOST FLAWLESS WITH JUST A FEW  'IN THE PRESS' MARKS THAT DULL THE SURFACE AND LOOK LIKE SMALL SCUFFS BUT THEY ARE NOT SCUFFS AT ALL.UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE TINY HANDLING LINE ON THE RUN IN GROOVES

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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED 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 LP SOUNDS. .

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION. NO DISTORTION AT ALL

THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE, THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC, A TINY BIT OF BACKGROUND AS EACH SIDE STARTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

 I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF THE DELICATE SILVER COLOUR BEING WORN AND THEREFORE MANY COPIES THAT YOU WILL SEE LOOK SHABBY. THIS COPY HOWEVER STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP COVERING IT AND SO HAS BEEN FULLY PROTECTED ALL OF IT'S LIFE FROM THE WEAR THAT IS MOST USUAL. THE FRONT OPENING EDGE HAS BEEN SLIT IN ORDER FOR THE LP TO BE REMOVED OF COURSE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.

SO THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND 100% FREE FROM ANY MARKS. THE ORIGINAL SHOP STICKER IS STILL IN PACE AND FOR ORIGINALITY I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO REMOVE IT

LOOKING THROUGH THE SHRINK WRAP THE SLEEVE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND JUST TWO TINY LONES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100%% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THE SILVER RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP 

THE SPINE  IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. FLAT WITH JUST ONE FINGER TO THUMB SQUASH. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS AGAIN 100% INTACT EVEN DOWN TO THE TIP ENDS, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT WITH JUST THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAVING A TINY DING TO IT

THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. 1ST ISSUE INNERS HAVE  ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH.

THIS ONE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION.

TOTALLY WHITE WITH NO HANDLING MARKS WHATSOEVER. NO CREASE MARKS AND AMAZINGLY NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TOP OPENING NOTCH ALONG THE TOP

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  MINT MINUS

I AM CERTAIN THIS LP AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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