THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE 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 JUST A FEW TINY 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 MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN ONE OR TWO LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES
THERE IS ALSO SOME NATURAL EMBEDDED DULL PATCHES
VERY CLEAN LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
BEING A LESSER LABEL THE QUALITY OF VINYL IS NOT AS NOISE FREE AS MAINSTREAM LABELS AND THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED, BUT HAVING SAID THIS ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IS MINIMAL AND DOES NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS OR POPS
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS DELIGHTFUL AS THE FRONT
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL PLAIN ONE WHICH IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION.
THE THIN LYRIC INSERT IS MINT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
