THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IT HAS THAT JUST REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE SHEEN ABOUT IT
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO ALL I SEE ARE 2-3 WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT!. I GUARANTEE THAT MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
SO THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
SECONDLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO AUDIBLE STATIC
I AM CERTAIN I DIDN'T HEAR MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE.
ONE OF THE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS SLEEVE IS RING WEAR AND CREASING DUE TO THE VERY THIN CARD THAT WAS USED IN THE MAKING OF IT.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM, NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE COLOURS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND WITHOUT RING WEAR, BUT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, AND THERE IS JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP EDGE HAS A VERY MILD SLIVER OF RUB IN THE MIDDLE. THE BOTTOM EDGE JUST A SPECK IN THE CORNERS. THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING ON IT.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE AND THE ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED. WITH JUST AN ABSOLUTE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE VERY TIP OF THE BOTTOM.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT AND UNRUBBED. . AGAIN IF THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE IS VISIBLE
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT!! THE CORRECT FIRST ISSUE IS IDENTIFIED BY THE FACT THAT THREE OF THE CORNERS ARE ANGLED. IT IS ALSO UNCREASED AND STILL VERY WHITE
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
