THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE MATT GREYLABELS 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 JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE NO SPIDER LINES VISIBLE
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 DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE REOCRD LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC THROUGHOUT
I HEARD 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
ON THAT BASIS I MUST GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE SEMI GLOSSY SURFACE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER.
THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE COLOURS RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END SHOWS A TINY SPECK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, THE THE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. THERE IS NO WEAR TO EITHER TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE SHOWS A LITTLE SLIVER OF AGEING TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE ROUNDED CORNERED CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
