THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST A COUPLE OF SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO TICS OR POPS
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TWO
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OR UNDERCARD VISIBLE
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH A FEW MORE PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD SHOWING BUT REALLY HARD TO SPOT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ARART FROM A LITTLE CRIMP AT THE BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS DELIGHTFUL AS THE FRONT
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL PLAIN ONE WHICH IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION.
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
