THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ONLY TWO TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, I CAN ONLY SPOT ONE VERY FINE SMALL WISPY HAIRLINE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM THAT TO FIND ONE THAT DOESN'T PLAY WITH CRACKLE, CLICKS AND POPS IS A REAL RARITY
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO AUDIBLE STATIC AND NO TICS OR POPS
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM START TO FINISH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON-LAMINATED GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,TWO MICROSCOPIC ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, FRONT OR BACK
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALMOST IN THE SAME CONDITION WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS ONLY.
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE RED TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THERE IS A WHITE SPECK OF RUB TO THE VERY BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT.ONE PRESSURE LINE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE BLACK POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
