THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK AND RED DOGBONE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE VINYL
THE RECORD HAS A VERY HEALTHY GLOSSY SHEEN
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I SEE SOME WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
CLEAR AND CLEAN AUDIO WITHOUT ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL SPECK OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, BUT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POP
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
PLAYS TO AN EX+ STANDARD
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE BY CLOUT AND BAKER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS
VERY GLOSSY LAMINATE FREE FROM ANY LIFT, FLAKE OR PEEL
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE ENDS, WITH THE BOTTOM LEFT HAVING A LITTLE MORE THAN THE REST
FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NOTHUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE AND ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EVERY BIT AS PRISTINE
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF VERY MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. PRISTINE TYPEFACE. PERFECT COLOUR WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR
THE CORRECT BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER HAS ONE CORNER FOLD
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
