THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
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 , I COULD ONLY SEE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF FINE SURFACE HANDLING LINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE ARE A FEW TINY LITTLE RANDOM DUST TICS / POPS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION
UNRUBBED COLOURS
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED AND BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. ONE TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP TIP. PERFECT TEXT AND COLOURS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
