THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT BROWN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS ZERO SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
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 THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES ON SIDE B
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
SIDE A PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND A TINT STATIC LIKE TIC OR TWO
SIDE B FROM ABOUT HALF WAY DEMONSTRATES SOME VERY LIGHT OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE LOW LEVEL BACKROUND AND SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS
NOTHING SERIOUS , AND NOTHING VISIBLE ON THE VINYL TO CAUSE ANY OF THIS
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF NEAR MINT FOR SIDE A AND EX FOR SIDE B
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM ON THIS VERY THIN COVER
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TWO
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH A LITTLE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ONLY
THE BOTTOM EDGE IHAS A FEW TINY WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE AND RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF TINY DOTS OF RUB IN THE MIDDLE. THE TEXT IS PRISTINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS DELIGHTFUL AS THE FRONT
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL DIE CUT ONE WHICH IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION.
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
