THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREEN AND ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT IS IMMACULATE
A MINT DISC
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB AUDIO AT ANY POINT
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN COUPLE OF TINY DUSTS POP OR TICs THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
SUPERB NOISE FREE AUDIO THROUGHOUT
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB NON LAMINATED GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE AND UNRUBBED
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINESAGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP END, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES HAVE VERY MILD SHELF RUB
THE BOTTOM EDGES JUST A FEW TINY FLECKS OF WHITE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. COMPLETELY COLOURED , AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. IT DOES HAVE A LIGHT PRINTING PRESS INDENTATION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, VISABLE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
