THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING RECORD WHICH IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, I CAN SEE A FEW FINE WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE MINIMAL PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
BARELY ANY STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND THE LINNKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS / STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAY. MOSTLY IN THE EARLIER TRACKS
OVERALL A SUPERB STEREO SOUND
I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AS EX++
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS A LITTLE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES
THE FRONT HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT
THERE IS A CREASE LINE OVER THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND A SMALL ONE OIVER THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
SOME LIGHT RECORD IMPRESSION
NO SEAM SPLITS, BUT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS FLATTENBED AND ALSO HAS SHELF WEAR TO THE LEADING EDGES AND MAIN FLAT SURFACE
THE OPENING EDGE HOWEVER IS VERY SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF NICKS TO THE SURFACE
THIS INDICATES THAT WHILST THE SLEEVE IS SOMEWHAT WORN, THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM IT MANY TIMES
THE REAR IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE SLEEVE GRADES VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
