THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES VISIBLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO CRACKLE, CLICKS OR POPS
THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF STATIC AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC TICS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE COLOURED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.
THE SHRINKWRAP IS NATURALLY SPLIT AT THE OPENING EDGE . IT IS TIGHT BUT NOT TIGHT ENOUGH TO BEND THE SLEEVE
NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A LITTLE RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP
THE VIRGIN STICKER SITS IN THE MIDDLE ON TOP OF THE SHRINK
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT COLOUR FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO FULL OF COLOUR APART FROM THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS PERFECT TEXT. PLUS THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP AND HAS A VERY TINY SPECK OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
THE BLACK POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
