I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE WHO LOOKED AFTER THEM INCREDIBLY WELL, WHERE THEY WERE PLACED INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES FROM NEW, AND ONLY PLAYED ON A BANG & OLUFSEN HI FI
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL UK DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION . THE GREEN BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THE WHITE SIDE IS ALSO IMMACULATE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE
THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE, AND JUST ONE ON SIDE TWO
THE VINYL
OUTSTANDING THAT HAS KEPT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FORM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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 ALL OF THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR IN FULL WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.
A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS MONO PRESS PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE SUPERB SOUND GENERATED BY THIS DISC.
I GUARANTEE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE MAGNIFICENT MONO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT, IT'S JUST REALLY CLEAN AND CRISP ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLING, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND AND NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN A SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT!!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATED WHITE SURFACE IS UNMARKED THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.BOTH TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THE VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE CORRECT APPLE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP, UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO MORE THAN A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION AND LIGHT NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES
