THE LABELS
PERFECT PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,
PRISTINE UNRUBBED BLACK TYPEFACE
THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL RETAINS A VERY HEALTHY GLOSS AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS NEAR AULTLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A FEW FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT SURFACE HANDLING LINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS NEAR PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE WHICH INDICATES NO GROOVE WEAR
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE AUDIO IS CRISP AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT
A LL IHEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYS WERE A FEW RANDOM SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES OR LINKING GROOVES
A TINY BIT OF VINYL NOISE IN PARTS OF THE LAST TRACK SIDE ONE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TRAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IT AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT
THE LAMINATE HAS SOME PATCHES OF LIFT ON THE SPINE EDGE
NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS ARE RUBBED
THERE ARE SIX TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND TWO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED. THE TOP EDGE HAS THE SPINE WORDING AS WELL
THERE IS A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP END
THE REAR SURFACE SIMILAR TO THE FRONT.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX
