    RAINBOW - STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES

    IN MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED  MINT  CONDITION

    COMPLETE WITH A MINT  SLEEVE

    TIME VAULT QUALITY

     


      

    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE EYE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

    THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. 

     

    THE VINYL

    THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT

    THE TEST PLAY

    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

    THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

    THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC ANYWHERE

    SILENT LINKING GROOVES

    NO TICS OR POPS

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT 

    PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    JAMES UPTON NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE THERE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED

    THE HYPE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

    THERE THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END HAVING A DOT OF RUB

    THE SPINE IS  TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE BLACK COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. NO RUB AT EITHER END. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT

    THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

    THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. IN ABSOLUTELY TOP CONDITION

    THE BLACK AND WHITE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE SQUARE CORNERS AND THE SMALL THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE  SURFACE

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT
