THE SLEEVE

EACH OF THE RECORDS IS HOUSED IN IT'S OWN FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH THREE FLIPBACK. BOTH OF THESE SUPERB SLEEVES ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME MINOR TANNING TO THE BACKS. there is some minor rubbing to a few of the corners, otherwise THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT and all of the text on the spines is perfectly legible.  

THE VINYL

both VERY HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL RECORDS APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. on close inspection i spotted to small pressing plant flaws on alp 1692. on side one these cause a number of repeating faint dull pops approximately halfway through and a few more about three quarters of the way through. there is one tiny click early during side one. on side two the pressing plant flaw midway through causes much fewer dull faint pops and the second flaw does not cause any problem at all. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED ALL FOUR SIDES AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS otherwise generally SUPERB THROUGHOUT with just some slight surface noise.

THE LABELS

THE four BEAUTIFUL RED & GOLD GROOVED LABELS, WITH LARGE NIPPER LOGOS, ARE IN EXCELLENT / near mint CONDITION. the sole owner has written the word 'blip' with an arrow pointing to the pressing plant flaw on the alp 1692 labels. otherwise there are just a FEW TINY FOXING MARKS.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.
