THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREEN AND ORANGE LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THERE ARE JUST 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE DISC LOOKS SPOTLESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A FEW VERY FINE SMALL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE RUN HAS A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS NEAR SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. JUST THE ODD RANDOM SPECKLE OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE HERE AND THERE
SUPERB AUDIO THOUGHOUT.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE 1ST ISSE EMBOSSED SLEEVE PRINTED AND MADE IN THE UK
THE SLEEVE IS STILL HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP. YOU WILL NOTICE FROM THE PICTURES THERE IS A BUBBLE RUNNING FROM THE OPENING EDGE BACK TOWARDS THE EMBOSSED TITLE. I HAVE DELIVERTAELY DOME THIS BY LIFTING THE SHRINK AT THE OPENING EDGE. I WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THE SHRINK HAD NOT ADHERED TO THE SLEEVE SO MUCH THAT PULLING IT AWAY WOULD HAVE LEFT A RESIDUE.
I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT THERE IS NONE, WHICH MEANS IF THE WINNER DECIDED TO REMOVE THE SHRINKWRAP THE SLEEVE UNDERNEATH WILL BE IN TOP CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAVE NOT FADED AT ALL
THERE IS ONE PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH A TINYDOT OF RUB TO THE TOP LEFT
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE IS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE TOP EDGE DOWN AND PARTIALLY OVER THE RIGHT TOP CORNER
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT COLOURS AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICALAPART FROM A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT . PERFECT COLOUR AND TYPEFACE. BOTH ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THERE IS A SMALL SCUFF NEAR THE TOP
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A SMALL NICK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT
THE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND HAS NO SEAM SPLITS. A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION AT THE BOTTOM
.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
