SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS

PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO HEAVY CRACKLE
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT STATIC
AND A FEW TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I GRADE THE AUDIO EX+
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE BY ROBERT STAVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN VERY GLOSSY CONDITION
THE LAMINATE HAS NO PEEL, OR FLAKE, JUST THE THINNEST SLIVER OF LIFT BY THE SPINE
THE COLOURS UNDERNEATH ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT AND UNRUBBED
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR , OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS GLOSSY AND HAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VERY THIN SURFACE. SUPERB UNBLEMISHED ENDS AND PRISTINE TEXT
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE LAMINATED AND IN GLEAMING CONDITION, LIKE THE FRONT
A FEW EDGE PRESSURE LINES AND THAT THIN SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE. ONE TINY PATCH AS WELL IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
