THE LABELS
THE BLUE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
ALL THREE RECORDS SHOW ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE ON THE THREE RECORDS. NOT A BLEMISH ON THEM. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE NO WISPY HAIRLINES ON ANY OF THE ALBUMS
THE TEST PLAY
I HAVE ONLY PLAY TESTED THE FIRST ALBUM - THEY ARE CLEARLY UNPLAYED
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.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO STATIC EITHER
NO DUST POPS OR ANY OTHER UNWANTED NOISES
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO A MINT GRADE
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
MATTE GREY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY STORED UPRIGHT
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS ON A COUPLE
THERE ARE FOUR MINUSCULE LITTLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THERE ARE A FEW LITTLE PRESSURE INDENT LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND BOTTOM EDGE
THE TOP EDGES SHOW ONE SMALL SPECK OF WHITE ON THE FRONT ONE IN THE MIDDLE. OTHERWISE EXCEPTIONAL
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNERS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A DOT OF RUB TO EITHER TIP END AND A FEW WHITE FLECKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THESE ALBUMS HAVE JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THE EDGES HAVE A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING
THE CORRECT INNER SLEEVES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
