ROLLING STONES - No 2
PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE
1ST PRESS WITH BLIND MAN TEXT
SUPERB EX++ SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE UNBOXED RED LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES AROUND IT
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ONE VERY FINE HANDLING LINE. NONE OF WHICH SOUND AS THEY ARE SURFACE. I STRESS THEY ARE INVISIBLE IN NORMAL LIGHT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL . THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS NEAR SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, SKIPS STICKS OR JUMPS
NO TICS OR POPS AT ALL
JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STAIC LIKE BACKGROUND
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE FROM JAMES UPTON
EARLY STONES SLEEVES ARE SO HARD TO FIND IN COLLECTABLE CONDITION. DUE TO THE VERY THIN CARD USED THESE SLEEVES ARE USUALLY FOUND WITH MANY CREASES AND RING WEAR / RECORD IMPRESSION. THEY JUST DON'T STAND UP WELL AGAINST SAY THE EARLY BEATLES SLEEVES
HERE HOWEVER IS ONE THAT I BELIEVE WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS AND HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED AND UNFADED. THE SURFACE HAS THE LAMINATED FINISH THAT ONLY A FIRST PRESS DOES. THE LAMINATE ON THIS HAS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE AND IS STILL VERY GLOSSY
NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHICH IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT
THERE ARE THREE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE
SIX ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND SIX ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A VERY TINY SPECK OF RUN ON THE TIP ENDS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND UNFADED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH PINCHED ENDS ARE PRISTINE.
THE REAR SURFACE WHICH USUALLY BROWNS DEEPLY IN THIS CASE HAS ONLY GOT A LIGHT SHADOW OF AGEING ON THE EDGES. THE REST OF THE SURFACE IS CLEAN AND HAS NO RUBBING TO THE TEXT
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX++ IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
