SUPERB EX++ SLEEVE

FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com

THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRJUST 6-7 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS WRITTEN THEIR SURNAME IN BIRO ON BOTH SIDES

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. 

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I CAN SEE ARE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND 2-3 SURFACE HANDLING LINES

VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE


THE TEST PLAY

AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

SUPERB CLARITY AND BACKGROUND NOISE FREE

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT WHICH MEANS NO GROOVE WEAR AND CONSIDERING WHAT RECORD PLAYERS WERE LIKE IN THE 50'S THIS IS AMAZING AND SOME EVIDENCE THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS FROM NEW

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND  ONLY A FEW ODD RANDOM SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME LINKING GROOVES AND A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

THERE ARE JUST A TINY NUMBER OF TINY LITTLE LOW LEVEL TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS VERY CLOSE TO  NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR 

ST JAMES PRESS SINGLE SLEEVE

LOVELY EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT. NO GRIME OR HANDLING MARKS

THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND THERE IS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AND THIS IS DUE TO THE THIN CARD USED

THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS SOME RUB

THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT APART FROM A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING.THE LAMINATED SURFACE IS IMMACULATE . NO COLOUR LOSS, AND PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. A DOR OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP WITH VERY MILD FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS LIGHTLY AGED. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS WRITTEN THEIR NAME IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AND ALSO ABOVE BUDDY'S HEAD. THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE PENCIL ON THE 'Y' OF HOLLY


THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
