THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS HAVE A YELLOW BAND AROUND THE EDGE ON EACH SIDE COVERING THE COLUMBIA INFORMATION.
I HAVE SEEN THIS A NUMBER OF TIME ON US COLUMBIA ALBUMS, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT HAS BEEN DONE. THE YELLOW BAND HAS A CBS LOGO PRINTED ON IT, SO IT WAS CLEARLY DONE AT THE FACTORY
EXPORT COPY ?
IF ANYONE ACTUALLY KNOWS WHY THEY DO THIS PLEASE MESSAGE ME
ANYWAY THE LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. I DID PICK AT A BIT OF THE YELLOW TO SEE IF IT WOULD COME OFF AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS UNPLAYED.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, THERE ARE A FEW OF THE USUAL DULL EMBEDDED STREAK LINES (ALL NON SOUNDING)
NO WISPY HAIRLINES OR HANDLING LINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUM
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
THE ODD LITTLE SPECK OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE NOISE IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
A FEW RANDOM TINY DUST POPS / STATIC TICS - VERY LOW LEVEL
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE THAT PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE.
THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT ACROSS THE SURFACE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE
THREE OF THE THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH TINY DING TO THE TOP RIGHT TIP
THERE IS JUST ONE PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
IN ADITION TO THE YELLOW BAND ON THE LABEL THERE IS ALSO A CBS STICKER WHICH HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE, I PRESUME THIS IS TO COVER SOME INFORMATION
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT COLOUR ALL THE WAY ACROSS , WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE RED LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
