THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS ZERO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!! THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN ONE LIGHT SMALL DULL STREAK
THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL PERFORMS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ON THE RECORD THERE IS SILENCE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE. THIS CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VOLUME.
THE CLARITY OF THE FIRST PRESS IS VERY AUDIBLE AND THE RECORDING IS JUST SUPERB
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO UNWANTED NOISES WHATSOEVER
ZERO BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT CAN ONLY GRADE MINT!!!
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
I HAVE GRADED THIS SLEEVE EX+ BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MINT SLEEVE IF NOT FOR ONE IMPERFECTION. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT WAVE TO THE SURFACE WHICH I SUSPECT WAS A RESULT OF HAVING IT STORED SOMEWHERE DAMP. I STRESS THERE IS NO STATING TO THE SLEEVE WHATSOEVER SO IT HASN'T BEEN SUBJECTED TO WATER DIRECTLY. SO LIGHT WAVE ASIDE:-
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL PURE WHITE. THE TEXTURED SURFACE HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE. IF YOU ANGLE THE COVER INTO THE LIGHT YOU CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT THE RESIDUE OF THE SHOP STICKER IN THE RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING APART FROM A LITTLE SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE HAS PRISTINE TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MARK FREE CONDITION AS THE FRONT. PERFECT FLIPBACKS AND UNRUBBED BLACK TEXTURED SURFACE
THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SPLITS OR CREASES,FURTHER PROOF THAT THE LP DIDN'T GET WET
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
