SUPERB NEAR MINT MINUS AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUELABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS 1-2 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE RECORD IS STILL GLOSSY AND IN DAYLIGHT IS FLAWLESS
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE SOME LIGHT DULL AND MOSTLY EMBEDDED FINE HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
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 THE LP SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING. NO STICKS, OR SKIPS
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A SMALL NUMBER OF TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS AND A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF EXTREMELY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF HEAVY CREASING OR CREASE LINES.
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
THE COLOURS ARE DEEP, RICH, VIBRANT AND UNFADED
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED AND HAS PERFECT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS PERFECT. NO RUB OR RING WEAR TO THE ORANGE COLOUR
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
