THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RAINBOW LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE RAINBOW LOGO WHICH CAN RUB AND WEAR BADLY IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION ON BOTH SIDES. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST 8-9 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY INDICATING LIMITED PLAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED IN THE LAST 34 YEARS.

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!!  ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING LINES AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THESE DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE SECOND OF VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND A LITTLE DURING THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES OF THE LAST TRACK

I DIDN'T HEAR AND DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE  FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO BENDS OR DINGS.

THERE ARE JUST THREE REALLY MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM M EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE DELICATE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, AND THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY WEAR TO THE CORNERS.

THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,

THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO ANY PART OF THE SPINE , AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE PERFECT.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED IN OUTSTANDING PLAYTHROUGH CONDITION, IT HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AND LIKE THE FRONT THE LAMINATE JUST SPARKLES.

THERE  IS JUST ONE SMALL LAMINATE LINE NEAR THE SPINE AND THATS ALL

THE ORIGINAL PICTURE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NOT ONE BLEMISH TO THE LAMINATED SURFACE. ALL OF THE SEAMS ARE PRISTINE, AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR EVEN CREASE LINES.

THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND LARGE THUMB NOTCH DENOTE THIS AS A FIRST PRESS.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT !!!

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