THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE IS A TINY BROWN DOT ON SIDE B
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE 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 IT ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE B
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 MORE THAN ONE SINGLE DUST POP OR TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
A COUPE OF TINY SPECKLES OF STATIC BUT THAT'S ALL
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 MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM SENOL
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A LITTLE SLIVER OF RING WEAR JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL QUITE SQUARE WITH A LITLE SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ONLY A TINY BIT OF SHELF RUB, HARDLY NOTICABLE IN FACT
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS AND ONE SMALL SCUFF NEAR THE LEFT SIDE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH SOME DIMPLES ON THE SURFSACE. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS HAVE SOME RUB
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 HAS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
