THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE EYE PICTURE ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
JAMES UPTON GLOSSY CARD SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE THERE
THE HYPE STICKER SITS PERFECTLY IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE IS IN MINT CONDITION. FULLY COLOURED WITHOUT ANY RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE BLACK COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS, AND A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. IN ABSOLUTELY TOP CONDITION
THE BLACK AND WHITE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM HAVING THE SQUARE CORNERS AND THE SMALL THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE SURFACE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
