THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL APPLE LABELS LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN AND WHITE BASE COLOURS ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY IT
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS MINT
EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF VERY TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE MINUSCULE NO SOUNDING DULL LINE ON TRACK ON SIDE TWO
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. 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 SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
NO CLICKS, OR POPS EITHER
ALL I HEARD WAS A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST AND BARELY AUDBLE STATIC TICS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THERE ARE ONLY TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE , WITH A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED AND ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING HERE. THE RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A DOT OF RUB
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW SMALL FLECKS FO RUB AND A LITTLE ON THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE RUB IN THE CENTRE WHERE THE TYPEFACE SITS. IT'S STILL LEGIBLE, BUT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF THE LETTERS RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT STAIN IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS A LARGE THUMB NOTCH WHIC IS NOT SPLIT LIKE MANY, ALTHOUGH THE LEFT CORNER HAS A CREASE. THE SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE AND THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
