THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE RED TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 2-3 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 A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF TINY HANDLING LINES
A FEW NON SOUNDING SLIVER FLECKS ON SIDE TWO
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO CLICKS OR STICKS OR JUMPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
AND A SOME RANDOM TINY STATIC TICS OR POPS
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF EX+
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED FLIMSY SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS AND PRISTINE GLOSSY LAMINATE
THE LAMINATE STILL HAS A VERY HEALTHY SHEEN AND THERE IS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT AND A LITTLE LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES UNDER THE LAMINATE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL NICELY SQUARE
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS FULL LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY HAS A LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A PERFECT FLIPBACK SPINE AND THE REST OF THE SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
