THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING RECORD WHICH IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, I CAN SEE A FEW FINE WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE MINIMAL PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
BARELY ANY STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND THE LINNKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS / STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAY.
OVERALL A SUPERB STEREO SOUND AND A VERY PRESENTABLE ALBUM
I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AS EX++
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARRODPRINT
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE COLOURS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LITTLE WHITE PATCH AT THE TOP CORNER OF THE MAGENTA BORDER
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SQUARE
THERE IS A LIGHT CREASE LINE OVER THE TOP RIGHT AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNERS
THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES. PERFECT TYPEFACE. A DOT OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED ALL THE WAY ACROSS. JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN THE SAME GREAT CONDITION
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME NICE CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
