THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE AND GOLD LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THE MAGENTA TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE, SHARP CONDITION.  THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY SURFACE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL SURFACE 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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS,AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS PRESS IS JUST SUPERB CLEAR . CLEAN AND CRISP, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE DISC HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS

NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS.  NEAR PERFECT SILENCE IN THE LINKING GROOVES 

THERE IS SOME REALLY LOW LEVEL OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE STATIC TICS

IT WOULD BE WELL WORTH TAKING A FULL LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM 

FOR ME THIS EASILY GRADES EX++++ FOR THE AUDIO 

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THROUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE , THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE,AND THE LAMINATE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SCUFFS JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE IN THE LEFT CORNER

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE . THE GOLD STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. 

THERE ARE THREE TINY LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO DENTS OR BENDS  

THE TOP EDGE HAS ONE SMALL SCUFF NEAR THE LEFT CORNER , AND A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT. THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. ONE DOT OF RUB TO THE TOP TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS BY LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER

THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND ONLY A LIGHTLY BROWNED WHITE SURFACE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND HAS NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS. THE POLY INNER IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED. THERE IS A GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+++

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