MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT AUDIO
EX+ SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE 8-10 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, IT ONLY SHOWS A FEW SMALL AND WISPY HAIRLINES
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 FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THERE IS A VERY TINY BIT OF STATIC AS SIDE ONE STARTS FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS. THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE ONE HAS THREE TINY LIGHT TICS. OTHER THAN THIS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM DUST TICS DURING THE REST OF THE PLAY ON EITHER SIDE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE FROM E. J DAY AND CO
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A VERY GLOSSY SHINE TO THE LAMINATE AND IS FREE FROM AN PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR , JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THERE ARE TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE, EIGHT ALONG THE TOP EDGE OF WHICH FOUR RUN ACCROSS THE RIGHT CORNER, AND SIX VERY SMALL ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE IN THE LEFT CORNER. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST IDENTICAL, A LITTLE MORE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE. NON LAMINATED AND AGED LIGHTLY WITHN A COUPLE OF FOXING SPOTS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS SOME HAMDLING AND RUBBING TO THE EDGES , PLUS SOME TINY FOXING MOTTLES
THE DIE CUT CBS ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, BUT DOES HAVE SOME FOXING, MOSTLY ON THE REAR SIDE
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
