THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE ON THE SURFACE 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 THE RECORD IS PERFECT
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
A COUPE OF TINY SPECKLES OF STATIC BUT THAT'S ALL
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATEDMATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE !!!!
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED PERFECTLY
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OR RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ONLY A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB ON BOTH CORNERS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR IS RETAINED WITH JUST ONE VERY TINY SPECK OF RUB HALFWAY BETWEEN THE MIDDLE AND TOP
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 SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
THE PLAIN WHITE POLY LINED INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
