OUTSTANDING MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
EX++ SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND GREY LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO MORE DUST POPS OR TICS AND ONE OR TWO SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED, JUST THE LIGHTEST SHADOW OF GREYING TO THE BLUE AREA TOP AND BOTTOM
NO RINGWEAR , OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS JUST ONE PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE .ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS NEAR PERFECT COLOUR. JUST TWO PIN PRICKS OF WHITE ON THE SURFACE AND ANOTHER ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO EACH CORNER AND A COUPLE OF TINY DOTS OF RUB ELSEWHERE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. PERFECTLY COLOURED WITH PRISTINE TAPERED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LITTLE GREYING TO THE SILVER SURFACE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS BEEN ADORNED WITH PRESS CUTTINGS ABOUT THE BAND AND THE ALBUM FROM THE RELEASE TIME
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
