THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS AOR ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES AT ALL SURROUNDING THIS HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE I SEE ONE DULL STREAK LINE ON SIDE A, AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND JUST A COUPLE ON SIDE B
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 THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE
ON SIDE A THERE ARE 3-4 TINY ONE SECOND SPECKS OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE RANDOMLY DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE SIDE
SIDE B IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
OUTSTANDING AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT /MINT
TAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
THIS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE HAS ON VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THREE MAJOR FAULTS
- DIRTY WHITE SURFACE
- SEVERE RING WEAR
- SPLITS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER SLEEVE
THIS COPY IS ALMOST PERFECT
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. THERE IS NO GRUBBINES OR HANDLING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS
THERE IS ONE INVISIBLE TINY PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE.
NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW.
ALL 4 CORNERS ARE PERFECT, AND THE RING WEAR THAT BLIGHTS THIS COVER IS TOTALLY ABSENT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW. THERE IS JUST A DOT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS THE TAPERED FIRST ISSUE AND LIKE THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND SQUARE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS THAT YOU GET BY REMOVING THE VINYL
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, AND THE MILDEST HANDLING TO THE WHITENESS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE THIS GOOD. THE RED COLOUR IS PERFECT ALL OVER AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TEXT
NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT, AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO CREASES OR EVEN ANY SMALL LINES AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE INNER. IT IS TOTALLY AS NEW
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
THIS IS A SUPERB COLLECTABLE COPY OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
