Description

FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

IN MAGNIFICENT 1-2 PLAY NEAR MINT CONDITION

NEAR MINT SLEEVE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. SO IS THE BLACK TYPEFACE. THE COLOURS RUN FULLY INYO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE WHERE THERE ARE JUST A SINGLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE BY

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST SOME VERY FINE SLEEVE REMOVAL HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

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 LP SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND FREE OF ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NOT ONE SPECK OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A FEW TINY SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

AND JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE .

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THE HYPE STICKER SITS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE. AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON A COUPLE

THERE ARE THREE REALLY TINY PRESSURE LINES LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE EITHER. ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE AND A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF DOTS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT AS IT THE TYPEFACE AND THERE IS NO RUB TO EITHER TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK NEAR THE BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT

THE GLOSSY CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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