    SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO 

    VG+ SLEEVE

    This album is very scarce from the mid 90's. the record has barely had any play whatsoever and is in superb condition. the sleeve does have some storage wear and has not been as protected as the vinyl
    my guess is that the original owner didn't really like the music so the album didn't get played

    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE  BLACK AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE  TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

    A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS 2-3 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES

    THE VINYL

     

    THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT. NO VISIBLE MARKS ETC. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE SOME SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES

    THE TEST PLAY

    THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

    SILENT LINKING GROOVES

    NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE AND NO CLICKS OR STICKS
    NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO  MORE THAN A COUPLE OF VERY TINY DUST TICS OR POPS

    ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING AUDIO NEAR MINT

    TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY RUB OR FADE. 

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

    THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A TINY BIT OF RUB

    THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. FOUR ON THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THE TOP EDGEHAS SONE SUFFING AND RUB TO THE FRONT LEADING EDGE IN PLACES, PLAS A LITTLE RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS
    THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS MORE PATCHY PUB THAN THE TOP AND THE CORNERS ARE ALSO RUBBED

    THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT, BUT HAS A LOT OF LEADING EDGE RUB

    THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP, SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE VERY OFTEN

    THE REAR SURFACE HAS FIVE SPINE PRESSURE LINES, AND SOME RING WEAR

    THE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE ON THE OTHER HAND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE VG+

     

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