NEAR MINT / EX+ AUDIO
EX+ SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY IT
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. I
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE SOME SWIRLY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL WISPS ON SIDE ONE. SIMILAR ON SIDE TWO WIT A COUPLE OF TINY DULL MARKS
THE TEST PLAY
I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAD NEVER PLAYED THIS ALBUM BEFORE IN ALL MY YEARS OF DOING THIS. I WAS ANNOYED THAT I COULD HEAR LIGHT STATIC LIKE CRACKLE THROUGH A LOT OF THE RECORDING. THIS 'CRACKLE' STOPPED WHEN THE TRACK ENDED AND THE LINKING GROOVES WERE SILENT. SO I GOOGLED IT AND FOUND THAT THE RECORDING IS DELIBERATELY ENHANCED WITH LIGHT BACKGROUND TO GIVE A MORE OLD AUTHENTIC VINYL SOUND. I AM GLAD I GOOGLED IT BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO NOT LIST IT
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND PRECISE
SO IF THERE IS ANY UNWANTED NOISES IN THERE IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO TELL. THERE ARE A FEW LITTLE TICS AND POPS BUT AGAIN
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO SOMEWHERE AROUND NEAR MINT / EX+
TAKE A LISTEN A JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
