Matrix S 64168 A1 S 64168 B1
Condition: The sleeve suffers from some discolour marks and buffing to the edges and corners (spine fine, text fine). There are also a few tiny creases seen under closer inspection, these are mostly seen along the spine edge. No tears or bends, mouth fine with no fingering indentations, complete and garded at a strict VG.
Both labels look clean and new, under closer examination some tiny spider spindle trails can be seen on each side. The centre hole is fine and shows only a mere touch of wear.
The vinyl retains its brand new shine, only when tilted under a strong light can lots of tiny hairline scratches be seen, in normal light it looks immaculate. I have of course test played this through both sides and took the following notes.
Side 1, run in groove some crackles and pops can be heard. Music starts all the feckling stops completely. In between tracks 2 and 3 one tiny pop can be heard, track 4 has a few quiet crackles heard in the first quarter of this track and other than possibly one or two other very quiet crackles this side plays as new. This side plays with very little lessening in sound quality. The music itself plays strong and clear for the entire side with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever. The above mentioned few quiet crackles are certainly heard way in the background. This does not suffer from any reduction in sound quality through wear as this has certainly not been overplayed.
Side 2, run in groove some crackles and pops can be heard. Like side one this side plays superbly well, I did notice one quiet pop and a few very quiet crackles on the first quarter of track 3 and a couple of quiet crackles towards the end of track 4 and in the break going to track 5 and other than possibly one or two other very quiet crackles this side plays as new. This plays with very little lessening in sound quality. Like side one the music itself plays strong and clear with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever and also like side one any crackles heard are way in the background. This does not suffer any reduction in sound quality through wear as this side has certainly not been overplayed.
Quiet stunning breaks and entries, great sounding vocal and instruments with great clarity, this plays at a comfortable near mint but is harshly down-graded for its whisper scratches and because it has been played slighly more than a few times.
Graded at VG+ and probably the best VG+ you will ever get, audio ceratainly Near Mint.
A fine collectable
