THE LABELS
THE EDGE GROOVED 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 ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES ON SIDE ONE,A ND 3-4 ON SIDE TWO
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS. WHEN PLACED UNDER A SPOTLIGHT THERE ARE SOME SMALL HANDLING LINES, AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A LITTLE DULL SPECKLING ON THE EDGES,
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
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. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
THERE IS SOME NATURAL RECORDING VINYL NOISE WHICH IS PART OF THE RECORDINGS AND NOT THE VINYL ITSELF, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF RANDOM SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD IF AT ALL IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES. YOU WILL ALSO HEAR SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS, BUT NOTHING LOUD DURING THE PALYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC EXCELLENT +++
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN TOP CONDITION WHERAS SO MANY OF THESE FLIMSY SLEEVES ARE WORN AND TORN. THIS ONE IS NOT AND IMPORTANTLY NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR THIS OFTEN ABUSED COVER. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL PATCHES OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE OPENING EDGE, AND THE BOTTOM TWO CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHICH IS AGAIN A RARITY, AND ONLY WHEN YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO STRONG LIGHT CAN YOU MAKE OUT A SLIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE ZERO LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, ALSO ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS HAVE ONLY THE MOST MINUSCULE PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS NO SQUASHING, AND THERE IS NO WEAR TO THE SURFACE THE TOP TIP SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF UNDERCARD
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP, BUT A LITTLE WAVY
THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLE. THE PASTE ON WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE, AND THE FLIPBACKS UNBLEMISHED APART FROM RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF TH RIGHT EDGE ONE WHERE THERE IS A LITTLE FLAKING
THE DIE CUT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. AMAZINGLY NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
