THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .
THE BSILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 43 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A FEW SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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 BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
I HEARD A FEW SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN TRACK TWO ON SIDE ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES
THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. VERY GLOSSY AND FREE FROM ANY PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FRONT LEADING EDGE (NOT A SPLIT), AND A DOT OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST THE SAME BUT HAS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT AND THE ENDS UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A TINY SPECK OF FEATHERING ON THE FRONT EDGE IN THE MIDDLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS FULLY COLOURED AND UNRUBBED, WITH A LITTLE FOXING IN THE WHITE AREA NEAR THE SPINE AT THE BOTTOM
THE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT INNER FOR THIS FIRST PRESS
INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS ON THIS INNER AND NO CREASES. THERE IS FOXING ON BOTH SIDES
I GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
