MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH

NEAR MINT SLEEVE

CATALOGUE:ATLANTIC K46190
MATRIX: K46190 A-1 / B-1

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE 2-3 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, I SEEJUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

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 SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO TICS OR POPS
A FEW RANDOM AND VERY TINY SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

MATTE MACNEILL PRESS GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE POWDERY SURFACE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. NO FADING EITHER

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER , AND INCREDIBLY NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A SPECK OF RUB AT THE CORNERS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO COLOUR LOSS AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A TINY SPECK OF RUB. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE,AND A SMALL SPECK OF RECORD IMPRESSION UNDER THE TOP EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT, UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
