INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS PLAYTHROUGH!!!

This album has Only had one play ever

NEAR MINT SLEEVE 


FULLY PLAY TESTED PRIOR TO LISTING

THIS ALBUM WAS LIMITED TO 700 COPIES WORLDWIDE, AND PRESSED PRIVATELY

IT STATES ON DISCOGS THAT THE VERY FIRST ISSUES HAD A SLEEVE WITH ONE PASTE ON SLICK  WHICH COVERED BOTH FRONT AND BACK. 

THIS CAUSED RIPPLES. THIS WAS CURED WITH A SECOND ISSUE WHICH HAD TWO SEPARATE PASTE ONS

THIS IS THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE WHITH A FEW SLEEVE RIPPLES (AIR BUBBLES)

 

CATALOGUE: NOT ON LABEL MAD100

  • MATRIX: MAD 100 A / B



THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE TEXTURED WHITE  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. 

THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE GREEN TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE


THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. 

ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.

 EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL WISPY HAIRLINES

ONE ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINE ON  TWO TRACKS SIDE TWO (TOTALLY NON SOUNDING)


PLAYING THE RECORD

THE RECORD PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I  DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC WHATSOEVER

I HEARD THREE DUST POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD.

 

THE SLEEVE

 

 NON LAMINATED  SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GLOSTER GRAPHICS LIMITED 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE

RICH AND VIBRANT INKS ON THE PASTE ON SLICKS

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER. 

A TINY SPECK OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE NEAR  THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNERS

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . PRISTINE WHITE SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS  PERFECT AS THE FRONT. 

THE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT, NO SEAM SPLITS


I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT
