    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE  LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BROWN TYPEFACE AND PURPLE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

    THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

    THE VINYL

    THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE

    THE TEST PLAY

    THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

    THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, NO STATIC AT ALL

    SILENT LINKING GROOVES

    NO TICS OR POPS

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT

    PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED.

    A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE, AND THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST PERFECT AND THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PVC OUTER AND THUS HAS ENSURED THAT THE OFF WHITE COLOUR HAS REMAINED FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS

    THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

    THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

    THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE WHITE FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH THE TIPS BOTH UNBLEMISHED, THE BROWN AND WHITE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

    THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

    THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT

    THE FIRST ISSUE ROUND CORNERED CARD INNER SLEEVE WITH THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE  MINT 

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
