THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB MOUNTAIN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. STILL RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW.IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING 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 P FROM START TO FINISH 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 I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I ALSO DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED ALBUM, PURELY BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT!!
I GUARANTEE MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
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 THIS LP SOUNDS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND SHOWS OFF THE POWER THAT THIS BAND GENERATES.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITH A VERY LOUD AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
A COUPLE OF SPIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES, AND A NO MORE THAN TWO OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE SLEEVE HAS THAT POWDERY SURFACE COLOURING TO IT WHICH HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE COLOUR LOSS AND RING WEAR, WHICH USUALLY MAKES THE SLEEVE LOOK TATTY
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH OFTEN HAS SERIOUS COLOUR LOSS, IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR. THE COLOURS BEING DEFINED ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE..IN ADDITION THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. INCREDIBLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR HERE, NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE. AND THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE. NO COLOUR LOSS AND ONLY ONE DOT OF WHITE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS ARE VISIBLE. CLEARLY THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION. NO MAJOR COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE ONLY SPECK OF WHITE SHOWS NEAR THE BOTTOM WITH A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE, AND AT THE VERY BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES, NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE,AGAIN HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO LANES NEAR THE SPINE OR OTHER PERIMETER EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
