THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HISTORICALLY SUFFERS FROM STAINS AND MARKS DUE TO THE POROUS WHITE SURFACE. THIS ONE HAS JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL BLEMISHES.

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A MINUSCULE CREASE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE TOP EDGE IS SLIGHTLY AGED BUT THERE IS NO RUBBING, EVEN TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT
THE SPINE IS STILL NICELY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED .THE WHITE TEXT IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS ARE STILL PERFECT AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS I HAVE SEEN THIS BLACK SURFACE. NO RUBBING JUST THE BAREST TINY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE IN THE MIDDLE
THE CARD INN SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES. THERE IS SOME FOXING ON THE WHITE SIDE
THE 7" SINGLE IS MINT AND ALSO UNPLAYED. LIKE MANY OF THESE SINGLES THE ORIGINAL WHITE VINYL HAS TURNED A PINK COLOUR
ALSO HAS THE SMALL PRINTED CARD
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+
