THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION , I COULD ONLY SEE A FEW SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES
A STUNNING VINYL
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE CLARITY OF SOUND REALLY IS OUTSTANDING.
THERE IS THE ODD RANDOM BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF STATIC
I HEARD ONE TINY TIC IN THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE TWO
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE BY SENOL PRINTING
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A SHINY LAMINATE WHICH IS IMMACULATE. NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
PRISTINE COLOURS. NO RING WEAR AND ONLY THE SHADOW OR RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE SEVEN TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. EIGHT ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED AND BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP
THE SPINE HAS SOME LIGHT FLATTENING, BUT FILLY COLOURED ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS TIDY AS THE FRONT
THERE IS A DISTRIBUTION STICKER AT THE BOTTOM
THE INNER SLEEVE IS MINT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
