THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ' BURBANK ' WARNER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS R STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST TWO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD JUST IN TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES I.E LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

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

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE DARK COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS JUST A VERY LIGHT SLIVER OF GREYING AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEXT TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE BOTH RETAINED ALL THE ORIGINAL GLOSSY COLOUR WHICH RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER. JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH PERFECT WHITE TYPEFACE. THERE IS ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM TIP END.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. JUST A LITTLE GREYING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. ONE SMALL LINE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, , NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE  SURFACE JUST ONE LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINE

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