THE GROUNDHOGS - SOLID
SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO
ORIGINAL UK BLACK WWA LABEL
WITH LYRIC INSERT
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER WWA LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO MINT AND UNRUBBED
I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS PERFECT IN DAYLIGHT
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SPOT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
OUTSTANDING STEREO SOUND FROM START TO FINISH
CLEAR AND LOUD
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NO CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS PF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, IN ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
TO ME THIS IS THE WORST TYPE OF SLEEVE FOR WEAR, DUE TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE .
HERE IS ONE THOUGH THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY WELL
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.
A VERY SLIGHT BIT OF RUB JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A DOT OF RUB ON THEM
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE . TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGESHOWS VERY LIGHT RUB ON THE LEFT CORNER, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE SPORADIC RUB ON THE SURFACE.
THE SPINE IHAS VERY SLIGHT FLATTENING, SOME RUB AT THE TOP END. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE INSERT LYRIC INNER IS IN UNCREASED CONDITION
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
