PICTURE LABEL - PROMO COPY
EX+ SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION. THE PURPLE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE TO SHOW THAT THIS LP HAS HAD HARDLY ANY PLAY
THE VINYL
THE GLEAMING VINYL THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE. AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PERECT APART FROM A PIN PRICK SIZED MARK ON TRACK ONE, SIDE ONE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
NO POPS OR TICS OTHER THAN TWO TINY POPS AS THE STYLUS PASSES OVER THE PIN PRICK MARK ON TRACXK ONE SIDE ONE
NOBACKGROUND CRACKLES EITHER, A STUNNING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS
ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND FOR A SECOND OR TWO DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL PLAY THROUGH MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
USUALLY ON THIS SLEEVE THE SILVER SURFACE IS BADLY AFFECTED BY RING WEAR. THIS COPY HAS NONE OF THAT
THE ONLY MINOR BLEMISHED TO THE SILBER IS A TINY STICKER REMOVAL RESIDUE PATCH IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER AND TWO TINY SPECKS OF WHITE VISIBLE. ONE UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND ONE JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE THREE VERY SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TWO ON THE TOP EDGE . ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ALSO NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A DOT OF RUB ON A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS
THE TOP EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, WITH FULL COLOUR AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A SPECK OF RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS ONLY
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PERFECT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE MILDEST SHJADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT NON LAMINATED INNER SURFACE WITH UNMARKED PANELS.
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
