THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE CLEAN WITH A TINY BROWN MARK VISIBLE TO THE RIGHT OF THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, I SEE A FEW TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AA COUPLE OF NON SOUNDING THIN DULL LINES
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 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
ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT APART FROM A COUPLE THAT HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
MATTE BUT SLIGHTLY GLOSSY ,DELICATE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE .
THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE POWDERY SURFACE.AND MOST I HAVE SEEN HAVE LARGE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE. THIS ONE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. NO FADING EITHER
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND INCREDIBLY JUST TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE.
ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A VERY TINY DING AND THE BOTTOM TIPS, A SPECK OF RUB
A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE LIGHT SHELF RUB AND A LITTLE MORE ON THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A JUST A FEW MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION TWO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,AND TWO ON THE TOP EDGE
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT, UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
