THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE CREAM LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!! THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN SOME SMALL WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL PERFORMS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ON THE RECORD THERE IS SILENCE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE. THIS CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VOLUME.
THE CLARITY OF THE FIRST PRESS IS VERY AUDIBLE AND THE RECORDING IS JUST SUPERB
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO MORE THAN THE ODD TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND A FEW TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT CAN ONLY GRADE NEAR MINT
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS ALL OF THE RICH COLOURS PERFECTLY FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. THE CORNER TIPS HAVE LIGHT RUB
THERE ARE NINE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. SIX ON THE TOP EDGE. THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VERY MILD SHELF RUB, SHOWING SMALL PATCHES OF UNDERCARD ALONG THE SURFACES, AND THE CORNER TIPS ALSO HAVE RUB
THE SPINE IS SHELF WORN ALONG THE MAJORITY OF THE SURFACE, MAKING THE TYPEFACE DIFFICULT TO READ FULLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP ON THE FRONT EDGE, WITH SOME THUMB NAIL NICK ON THE REAR EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT HAS EDGE PRESSURE LINES
THE LYRIC INSERT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. ONE CORNER TIP CREASE LINE
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SPLITS . DOES HAVE ONE CORNER CREASE LINE AND THE ORIGINAL SHOP WHERE THE RECORD WAS SOLD HAS THEIR STAMP ON ONE SIDE
THE SLEEVE IS CLEARLY NOT AS NICE AS THE RECORD DUE TO THE WAY IT HAS BEEN STORED
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
