THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECT
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE SINGLE SPIDER LINE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A PRISTINE RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS 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
RIGHT AT THE START OF SIDE ONE IN THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, JUST AS THE FIRST NOTE STARTS THERE IS A SINGLE SPLIT SECOND ROTATION OF LIGHT SCUFF NOISE FOLLOWED ONE ROTATION LATE BY A SINGLE TIC
FOR THIS REASON I HAVE GRADED SIDE a AS NEAR MINT BUT OTHER THAN THESE TWO TINY FLAWS THE RECORD PLAYS TO PERFECTION
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION WHICH IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT
OTHER THAN WHAT I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO DUST POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAY
THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE WITH I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE AS NEAR MINT / MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
LAMINATED GATEFOLD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES , JUST ONE LIGHT LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE COLOURS ARE MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH UNRUBBED INKS ACROSS THE SURFACE
THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS LOST THE TOP SURFACE AND THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP HAS A LITTLE RUB
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME RUB TO THE CORNERS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH A SMALL PIECE OF THE LAMINATE CHIPPED AT THE BOTTOM TIP. THE REST OF THE SPINE IS PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO HAS PERFECT LAMINATE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED ONE WHICH IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SPLITS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
