THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE ISLAND LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE  RICH DEEP BLUE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THERE IS NO RUBBING OR ANY STAINING OR PEN MARKS ANYWHERE. I CAN SEE 3-4 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING, THAT THE LP SET HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE RECORDS STILL HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE, AND LOOK MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS ON THE DISCS,AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS. WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 3-4 WISPY HAIRLINES IN TOTAL ON ALL FOUR SIDES

PLAYING THE RECORD


THE LP'S PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISCS SOUND.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, JUST THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED

ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF SPECKS IN A COUPLE OF RANDOM LINKING GROOVES 

NO BACKGROUND STATIC

I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

 

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS EASILY DAMAGED SLEEVE IS IN TOP CONDITION. THE GREYS AND BLACKS ALL REMAIN UNRUBBED AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE DIE CUT WINDOWS. 

THERE ARE LITTLE DROPLET MARKS BY THE SPINE

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL NICELY SQUARE WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIPS

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE GREY COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER . BOTH CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS TOTALLY PRISTINE ALL THE WAY ALONG

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.  THE BOTTOM ND HAS A LITTLE RUB. THE DROPLET MARKS ALSO ARE VISIBLE ON THE SPINE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALONG BOTH SURFACES

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT,  ONE LIGHT CREASE LINERUNNING NEXT TO THE THE SPINE

THE TWO CARD PICTURE INNERS ARE ABSOLUTELY MINT, HAVING RARELY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT


 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
