Description
OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
EX+ TEXTURED SLEEVE AND NMINT GLOSSY INNER
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT ONLY SHOWS A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES , PLUS SOME NON SOUNDING EMBEDDED DULL FLECKING IN THE PRESS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO MORE THAN 5-6 TINY DUST POPS OR TICS AND ONE OR TWO SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE UNFADED WITH JUST A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF GREYING TO THE PUTPLE UNDER THE TOP EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER ONLY
NO RINGWEAR , OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . THREE TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS NEAR PERFECT COLOUR. JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE AND A SLIVER OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. PERFECTLY COLOURED AND PRISTINE YELLOW TEXT. UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT
THE GLOSSY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
