VG+ SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY SHARP AND RUB FREE
THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GHAS A STRONG SHINE TO THE SURFACE. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AND 2-3 INLINE DULL LINES, PLUS ON TRACK 2, SIDE TWO AT THE BEGINJ=NING I SEE THREE PIN PRICK MARKS THERE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH CLEANLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WAS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW PLACES AND ON SIDE TWO THREE LITTLE TICS IN TRACK TWO
THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE EX+ FOR THE AUDIO
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NEAR PERFECT COLOURS. UNRUBBED AND UNFADED, JUST LIGHT GREYING AROUND THE EDGES
THERE ARE EIGHT PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ROUNDED AND RUBBED
THE TOP EDGES HAVE SPORADIC FLECK OF RUBBING AND BOTH CORNERS ARE RUBBED
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH SLIGHTLY MORE RUB AT THE CORNERS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. RUBBING AT BOTH ENDS AND FLECKS OF RUB ON THE LEADING EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS ASOME VERY LIGHT RING WEAR AND EDGE PRESSURE LINES SIMILAR TO THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO VERY CLEAN INNER PANELS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
