  • FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com BEE GEES - BEE GEES 1st

    SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO

    EX++ SLEEVE 

    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE TEXTURED 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 A COUPLE OF 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 FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HANDLING LINES 


    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 OR NEAR SILENTLINKING GROOVES

    NO MORE THAN 4-5 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS OR TICS AND ONE OR TWO SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  NEAR MINT

    PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR E.J.DAY SLEEVE

    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 ONLY HAS A LITTLE LIFT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHERE THERE IS A SMALL CREASE LINE ACROSS THE TIP

    NO RINGWEAR , JUST A TINY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP .

    THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A DOT OF RUB ON THE TIPS

    THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . THREE TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE AND JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

    THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. LIGHTLY AGED AND A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE TEXT

    THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A COUPLE OG TINY SPECKS OF FEATHERING

    THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL WHITE WITH SOME MILD AGEING / HANDLING TO THE EDGES

    I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
