THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS ZERO SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
UNTIL TODAY THIS RECORD HAD REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR 50 YEARS
MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
NO STATIC ANYWHERE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS WHATSOEVER
THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE BY HOWARDS
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS
THERE IS A SMALL PAPER SNAG IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE A STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED. QUITE HARD TO SPOT AS IT'S ON THE WHITE SECTION
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH A LITTLE RUB ON THE REAR RIGHT CORNER TIP ONLY
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A FEW TINY FLECKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE AND A LITTLE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNERS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THERE ARE WHAT APPEARS TO BE CIRCULAR STAINS ON THE SURFACE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDNS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT. THERE IS A PRICE STICKER ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER AREA
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVELAS TWO MINT TEXTURED INNER PANELS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
