MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT AUDIO

ONLY HAD A FEW PLAYS

SUPERB NEAR MINT SLEEVE


 

  • CATALOGUE:CORAL LVA 9081

  • MATRIX: MG-6036-1B / 6037-1B

 

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

Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com

THE BLACK 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 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 TINY HANDLING LINES

A BRILLIANT LOOKING FIRST PRESS


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 WHATRECORD 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

THERE ARE JUST A SMALL 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 WITH FLIPBACKS

 ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE

SUPERB 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 BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS SOME RUB

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

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT APART FROM THAT LITTLE BIT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING.HE BROWN SURFACE IS IMMACULATE . NO COLOUR LOSS, AND PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. UNBLEMISHED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ON THE REAR SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS

THE WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME WRITTEN UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE VERY CLOSE TO NEAR MINT

 

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