Description
PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE
SUPER AUDIO PERFORMANCE
EX+ SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PCTURE LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,
I DON'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLES ON ANY OF THE DISCS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS LOOK SUPERB. THEY HAVE RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT A COUPLE OF THE WISPIEST HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM SET HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES IF THAT
THIS STEREO ALBUM SET PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
I WAS GOING TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT, BUT I HEARD A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT THE END OF ONE OF THE EARLY TRACKS ON SIDE ONE, SO I AHVE SLIGHTLY LOWERED THE GRADE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY UNWANTED NOISE ON ALL SIX SIDES
NO TICS OR POPS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A LITTLE CREASE TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. EVIDENT BY A SMALL GROOVE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE SPINE AT THIS POINT
THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.FIVE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUBBING AT THE TIPS
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED APART FROM A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FRACTION MORE RUB ON THE CORNER TIP AND A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE ELSEWHERE
THE SPINE IS SLIGHTLY BENT AT THE BOTTOM DUE TO THE CREASE I MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE DESCRIPTION. NO RUBBING AT THE ENDS AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE HAS SOME FEATHERING AT THE BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACEIS ACTUALLY SUPERIOR TO THE FRONT. THE CREASE IN THE CORNER IS LESS NOTICABLE AND THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
THE GATEFOLD INSERT HAS A LITTLE RIPPLING
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
