THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY OF THE SURFACES. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A M,AGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS LP FIRST OF ALL HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP WHATSOEVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS DULL PATCH IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER FROM A STICKER REMOVAL
THERE ARE THREE SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE.ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE OF ANY DESCRIPTION
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE BLUE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP HAS A SPECK OF LIGHT RUBBING. AND A LITTLE FLECK OF WHITE NEAR THE THE LEFT CORNER AT THE BOTTOM
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DOTS OF WHITE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SLP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOUR AND LOOKS NEAR PRISTINE LIKE THE FRONT
THE PLAIN WHITE 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND STILL PURE WHITE
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
