THE LABELS
THE UNBOXED RED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOURIS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. SO IS THE SILVER TYPEFACE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO UNWORN, AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE ANY MORE THAN 1-2 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. LOOKS ALMOST UNPLAYED AND IN DAYLIGHT IS FLWLESS. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIR;LINES VISIBLE
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE REPRODUCTION WHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A FEW SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO DUST POPS JUST A FEW RANDOM AND AGAIN BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS
MACNELL SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE BEAUTIFUL LAMINATED SURFACE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RETAINED .
NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND ONLY A LITTLE SPECK OF LIFT IN THE TWO LEFT CORNERS
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE DELICATE LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END SHOWING A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL PRESENT AND UNRUBBED. PERFECT LAMINATE, PRISTINE TEXT AND TAPERED ENDS WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS ALMOST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANY COLLECTOR TO COULD WISH TO HOPE FOR
PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND A VERY WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE
FINALLY THE DECCA INNER SLEEVE WHICH HISTORICALLY COMES SPLIT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE THREE SEAMS. THE OPENING EDGE REMAINS IMMACULATE AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
