THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK SCROLL LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 TINY SPIDERS LINE BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT. JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ONE LIGHT SURFACE STREAK LINE (NON SOUNDING) ON SIDE A
THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE DULL SPECKLING EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL WHICH IS ALSO TOTALLY NON SOUNDING AND ONLY VISIBLE UNDER SPOTLIGHT
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A FEW TINY SPECKLES OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND OVER THE COMPLETE PLAYTHROUGH
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGHOUT THE PLAY
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
FULLY TEXTURED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAS A LITTLE RUB
THERE IS A TINY PATCH OF STICKER RESIDUE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE EDGES SHOW A LITTLE HANDLING
THERE ARE TWO INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES HAVE A LITTLE VERY LIGHT RUB TO THE CREAM SURFACE. STILL VERY SMOOTH
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW A LITTLE RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE HAS A TINY SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THE SURFACE SHOWS SOME MILD FOXING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
