Description
MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT AUDIO
NEAR MINT TEXTURED SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BROWN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST 1-2 BARELY VISIBLE SPIDERS LINE BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
CLEAR AND CLEAN AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WAS A FEW OCCASIONAL SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION BOTH FRONT AND BACK
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED, AND UNFADED
THERE ARE THREE INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE ,THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE . THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE WEAR ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP/
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THERE IS A MINUSCULE SLIVER OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE AFFECTING THE TEXT SLIGHTLY
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
