THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. .
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE CREAMY WHITE AREAS ARE BEAUTIFULLY WHITE, AGAIN NO MAN MADE MARKS.
THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC PIDER LINESCLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND EVEN PLACED UNDER A MAGIFYING LED HALO I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT 2-3 VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE SLIGHTLY MORE PRONOUNCED HANDLING LINE ON TRACK 1, SIDE TWO WHICH HAD NO IMPACT ON THE AUDIO
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND.
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT PLAYTHROUGH AND ONE THAT GRADES MINT
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THIS IS A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND IN GLEAMING CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE.
THE LAMINATE IS FLAWLESS. NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES AGAINST THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION.
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED, ENDS HAVING NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER, AND WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, PLUS ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT. NO SQUASHING OF THE SPINE AT ALL EITHER
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THIS YOU CAN TELL THE RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT . THERE IS A TINY BAND OF POSIBLE AGEING ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THIS RELEASE HAS THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN UNSPLIT AND ONLY VERY SLIGHTLY AGED CONDITION WITHOUT AND CREASES.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS
