Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.comTHE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. DEEP RICH COLOUR THAT FULLY RUNS INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE - NO RUBBING
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS LITTLE PLAY
THE RECORD
SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE WAY THE RECORD LOOKS IT SHOULD PLAY TO A MINT GRADE BUT HERE'S WHY I TEST PLAY EVERY RECORD AND RECORD IT FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO
DURING THE FIRST FEW REVOLUTIONS OF THE FIRST TRCAK THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND AND A FEW TICS AND POPS. THESE DIMINISH TO NOTHING AFTER A FEW REVOLUTIONS ANS THE PRISTINE CLEAN SOUND CONTINUES
SO ONCE PAST THE MINOR IRRITANT AT THE START, THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE REST OF THE SIDE
JUST SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
SIDE TWO ALSO HAS A TINY SPECK OF VERY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AT THE START FOR A COUPLE OF TURNS BUT AGAIN THIS SOON DISSIPATES
ONCE AGAIN A VERY CLEAR AND CLEAN SOUND WITH JUST THOSE OCCASIONAL LITTLE TICS
LOOKS NEAR MINT AND PLAYS TO AN EX+ GRADE
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED A HEALTHY SHEEN TO THE LAMINATE
NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THERE ARE SIX PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE
FIVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS FULL LAMINATE APART FROM A SPECK OF RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE WEAR IN THE LEFT CORNER
THE SPINE HAS NO RUB AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND THE SURFACE IS FLAT WITHOUT SQUASHES
THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS EXTREMELY MILD AGEING TO THE BORDER EDGES, BUT IS OTHERWISE EXTREMELY CLEAN
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
