THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE IS JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW OFTEN THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS
AND ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO. I SEE JUST ONE VERY LIGHT WISPY NON SOUNDING HAIRLINE ON TRACK ONE, SIDE ONE
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.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I DIDN'T HEAR DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS ONCE PLAYED ALBUM HAS TO GRADE MINT FOR THE AUDIO
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP, NONE ON THE AND BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE. NOR ANY FADING
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE AND BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND ONLY LIGHT EDGE AGEING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT! MINUS
