MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO
PLAYED JUST 1-2 TIMES EVER
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TEXTURED RED 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 MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE S
THE VINYL
THE RECORDS ARE IN IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAVE NOT LOST ANY OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY PAIR OF ALBUMS . IN DAYLIGHTTHEY BOTH LOOK ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALOTHEY LOOK PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
THE RECORDS PLAY WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
I HEARD JUST ONE TINY DUST POP OVER THE ENTIRE FOUR SIDES
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
THE FIRST ISSUE RED FELT COVER WITH GOLD EMBOSSED LETTERING
COLLECTORS KNOW JUST HOW DIFFICULT THIS SLEEVE IS TO COLLECT IN A CONDITION THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. HERE IS ONE THAT I BELIEVE IS IN TOP CONDITION WITH VERY FEW MINOR FLAWS
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.
THE USUAL ISSUE WITH THIS SLEEVE IS HEAVY RING WEAR AND EVEN TEARS TO THE OPENING EDGE. I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE DEEP RED COLOUR IS RETAINED OVER VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE SURFACE. JUST THE LIGHTEST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDHE AND ON THE LEFT AND RIGH EDGE AND A LITTLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT VERY MINOR IN COMPARISON TO HOW IT IS USUALLY PRESENTED. THERE IS ALSO A LIGHT OBLONG SHADOW IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER PERHAPS FROM WHER A SHOP STICKER SAT. AGAIN THIS IS QUITE MINOR
THE GOLD FOIL LETTERING IS PERFECT AND HAS NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A TINY DOT OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ON MOST COPIES THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE WORN THROUGH TO THE CARD. ON THIS SLEEVE HOWEVER THE RUBBING IS VERY MINIMAL WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHTER SHADES OF RED AND NO WHITE APPEARING AT ALL. THE BOTTOM CORNER TIPS ARE THE ONLY AREA THAT THE UNDERCARD SHOWS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE FELT SURFACE HAS BEEN FULLY RETAINED AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP SHOWS A DOT OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGES ARE SLIGHTLY FEATHERED IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME DELIGHTFUL CONDITION AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY WRITTEN INSIDE THE OPENING EDGE ON THE FRONT SECTION, THE PURCHASE DATE AND WHERE OBTAINED FROM
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES ARE INCLUDED. ONE SIDE ONE EACH HAS BEEN DECORATED WITH PRESS CUTTINGS AND PICTURES FROM THE SAME YEAR OF RELEASE
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
