PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE
INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
VG+ SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL PINK SCROLL LABELS LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
GRAMOPHONE CO RIM WORDING
THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST A FEW TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND IT
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THERE ARE TWO NON SOUNDING FINE SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE A, AND THREE MORE AGAIN NON SOUNDING ON SIDE B
THE TEST PLAY
THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
NO CLICKS, OR POPS EITHER
ALL I HEARD DURING BOTH SIDES WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM THE E.J. DAY GROUP
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN
THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS ONLY A COUPLE OF MINOR BELISHES. ONE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE I SUSPECT A PRICE STICKER ONCE SAT, AND THERE IS A THIN SLIVER OF RUB JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE SEVEN PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE , ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL ROUNDED WITH SOME RUBBING
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AT ALL
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH SHOWING SOME SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACES, MORE AT THE CORNERS IN PARTICULAR
THE SPINE IS ALSO SHOWING RUBBING ALONG THE SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND FLECKING ALONG THE REST OF THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH ONLY A LITTLE TRACE OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE ISLIKE THE FRONT FULLY COLOURED. THERE ARE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE LINES ON EACH SEALED EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE INNER PANELS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
