THE LABELS
THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOKS SUPERB
THE TEST PLAY
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 SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS! FOR THE AUDIO IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED AND EMBOSSED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE .
THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS BLACK USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE SURFACE.BUT THIS COPY IS WAY ABOVE WHAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY SEE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS JUST A THE USUAL BAND OF GREYING AROUND THE EDGES, AND A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR. AND THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP SHOWS A SMALL SPECK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
PRISTINE COLOUR AND TYPECAE AND THE ENDS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN AMAZING CONDITION . JUST ONE TINY LINE AGAINST THE SPINE AND NO GREYING TO THE SURFACE
THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT. THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS FLAT AND UNCREASED
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
