THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST A SINGLE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES ON SODE B
MAGNIFICENT LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS OR STICKS OR JUMPS
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
NO STATIC TICS OR POPS
SO A ONCE PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP RIGHT CORNER HAS SOME RUBBING
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS SOME SMALL SPOTS OF PATCY RUBBING ALONG THE SURFACE AND THE RIGHT CORNER TIP IS RUBBED
THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT THREE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL PICTURE / LYRIC ONE. IT HAS A COUPLE OF TINY SPLITS TO THE SEAMS
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
