NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NO LOUD CRACKLE OR CLICKS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT FROM START TO FINISH
NO TICS OR POSP
THIS AUDIO EASILY GRADES MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THIS IS A SLEEVE THAT DESPITE BEST INTENTIONS SUFFERS BADLY FROM COLOUR LOSS, RING WEAR AND SEVERE CREASING DUE TO THE THIN CARD THAT WAS USED TO MAKE IT, THUS FINDING A GREAT SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO DO.
THIS ONE HOWEVER IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN
THE FIRST PRESS SLEEVE IS MADE FROM A FAR STIFFER CARD THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE HELD AND STANDS UP TO THE RINGWEAR FAR BETTER THAN THE THINNER COVERS THAT FOLLOWED
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT NONE OF THE BROWN SURFACE HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY AND SECONDLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM VISIBLE WHEN ANGLED INTO STRONG LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THERE ARE JUST FIVE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
YOU DON'T OFTEN FIND THIS SLEEVE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT AND THAT MAKE THIS COPY ALL THE MORE SPECIAL
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST NEAR PERFECT WITH THE VERY VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS ONLY
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNWORN, FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE WITH ONLY A DOT OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS WHICH ARE ALSO TAPERED. THE TEXT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND INDICATES THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT WITH JUST A FEW TINY LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO EASILY IDENTIFIABLE AS A FIRST PRESS BY THE CORNER SNIPPED OFF FROM ONE OF THE BOTTOM CORNERS, AND IN ADDITION A THUMB GROOVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.
THIS HAS BOTH OF THOSE INDICATORS, AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. UNUSUALLY NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES
PRISTINE UNSOILED BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE
THE LP HAS NOW BEEN PLACED INSIDE A NEW POLY LINED INNER TO ENSURE THAT NO HARM CAN COME TO THE INNER.
THE LARGE POSTER IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, HAVING SHARP CREASE SEAMS AND NO MARKS BACK OR FRONT
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
A REAL VAULT COPY OF THIS LP SET
