THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BROWN PICTURE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
CRYSTAL CLEAR VOCALS AND GUITAR WORK
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE SOME TINY AND RANDOM STATIC LIKE TICS
THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
REALLY NICE EXAMPLE THAT PLAYS VERY WELL AND AUDIBLY GRADES EX+
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE BY WEST BROTHERS
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS A NICE SET IF DEEP RICH INKS
THERE IS A LITTLE RING WEAR JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE. A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
SOME MILD HANDLING TO THE OLIVE GREEN SURFACE
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BOTH HAVE SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACES
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. SOME RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS AND A LITTLE RUB T THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH A FEW MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS
THE YELLOW LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN TOP CONDITION
THE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL ONE WHICH IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX
