CARAVAN - WATERLOO LILY
MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH
NEAR MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, IT ONLY SHOWS A FEW VERY SMALL WISPY SLEEVE WIOTHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF SECONDS OF LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC DUST TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. NO FADING EITHER.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS
A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE,
THE TOP EDGES ARE ALMOSTFULLY COLOURED WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF RUB ELSEWHERE
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MILD SHELF RUB IN PLACES
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO COLOUR LOSS APART FROM AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS WHERE THERE IS A TINY BIT, AND A LITTLE ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE AT THE BASE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE PRINTED CARD INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AND JUST TWO PRESSURE LINES ON ONE SIDE ON THE TOP EDGE
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
