MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO
EX++ SLEEVE
This is identical to the original UK release Bee Gees - Idea (cover/printer/pressing plant), except for 'MADE IN HOLLAND' instead of 'MADE IN ENGLAND' printed on labels.
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVY VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROME.J.DAY AND CO
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS A PATCH OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE
NO RINGWEAR , OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNER SARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS ONE PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE, WHICH DROPS OVER THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER . TWO MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE AND ONE JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. PERFECTLY LAMINATED WITH PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND PERFECT ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS HIGHLY GLOSSY AS THE FRONT
JUST A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE SPINE
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
