THE LABELS
THE BLACK / PICTURE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO WRITING OR MARKS AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE WHITE TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE RECORD
THIS VINYL HAS STILL RETAINED ITS SHEEN
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE NUMEROUS FINE SWIRLY HAIRLINES ON THE SURFACE OF THE DISC. PLUS SOME HANDLING LINES
THERE IS ALSO A TINY SCRATCH ON THE LAST FEW BARS OF SIDE TWO (SEE BELOW)
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM PLAYS VERY WELL THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.
THIS MEANS THAT THE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A DECENT SYSTEM AND THE STYLI WAS NOT TOO HEAVY OR WORN
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISES
NO HEAVY CRACKLE
SO THE REASON THIS IS VG+ IS THAT THERE IS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND MORESO AT THE START OF EACH SIDE THAN THE LATER PARTS, PLUS SOME TICS, CLICKS AND POPS AT RANDOM
THERE IS ALSO A TINY SCRATCH ON THE LAST FEW ROTATIONS OF SIDE TWO RESULTING IN A FEW CLICKS TO END THE SIDE
I GRADE THE AUDIO VG+
BUT TAKE A LISTEN AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT AND NOT FADED
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE TIPS
NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE EIGHT PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES HAVE VERY MILD SHELF RUB MAINLY TO THE FRONT, WITH A TINY NICK TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SHELF RUB WITH MORE ON THE RIGHT CORNERS
THE SPINE HAS ALSO SUFFRED FROM SHELF RUB, WHICH HAS REMOVED SOME OF THE TEXT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO READ. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE ALSO RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING
THE NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN. RUB FREE AND AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
