Description
MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
EX++ SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES AND EVEN SOME RESIDUAL VINYL ATTACHED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE JUST A FEW TINY WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND PRECISE
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
A DEEP RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND THROUGHOUT UNINTERRUPTED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES
I ALL I HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH WERE TWO OR THREE VERY TINY SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND ON SIDE TWO, TRACK TWO THERE ARE 3-4 TINY LITTLE TICS JUST AFTER THE TRACK STARTS
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS / EX+
TAKE A LISTEN A JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM ROBOR
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. AS THIS IS A WHITE SLEEVE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND ONE THAT IS NOT SEVERELY SOILED FROM HANDLING. MOST YOU WILL SEE ARE BADLY AGED, RING WORN AND VERY GRIMY. THIS ONE IS FAR BETTER THAN MOST
THE WHITENESS HAS A LITTLE HANDLING TO THE EDGES AND A COUPLE OF FOXING MARKS. ONE JUST UNDER THE WORD 'FREE' AND A COUPLE OF DOTS FURTHER DOWN NEAR THE MIC STAND, TWO MORE BY THE SPINE
THERE ARE THREE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND ONLY HAS A TINY SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE WHICH DOESN'T AFFECT THE PERFECT TYPEFACE. THE PINCHED ENDS ARE PRISTINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH A FEW DOTS OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO VERY CLEAN. NO RING WEAR AND JUST A LITTLE EDGE HANDLING
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SEAM SPLITS. THREE OF THE CORNERS HAVE FOLD LINES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
