PLAY GRADED: VISUAL GRADING
Equipment used to test this LP was my Townshend Rock II turntable positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform, with a Linn Ittok modified arm and Audio Technica VM95ML Shibata modified cartridge feeding through a Trilogy 906 phono stage positioned on a Townshend Seismic Sink. Amplification is a Lavardin IS amp positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform. Speakers are bi-wired Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II Speaker Cable Impluse H6's positioned on Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars.
The LP was played through its entirety and there was just very light minimal surface noise heard through the lead in tracks to both sides plus some of the very quieter moments. There were no annoying skips, jumps of mis-tracking. While listening no track exhibited any sticking. There were no loud pops or any other annoying defects heard. There was no noise distortion, while listening the music flowed with crystal clear clarity. If marking out of 10 then this is easily a 9.8 out of 10 playback.
THE COVER: The glossy gatefold cover shows wear to the top and bottom edges. The spine also shows wear and creasing. All corners have also wear with age related rounding. The opening edge shows no fethering and has remained clean and crisp. The covers surface has light storage scuffing with light creasing. I have graded the cover in VERY GOOD+ condition.
THE BACK COVER: The back cover reflects the front so I have graded the back cover again in VERY GOOD+ condition.
THE INNER SLEEVE: The thick card textured inner has been graded in EXCELLENT condition with no visible signs of damage.
THE VINYL: Both sides of this LP still retains all of their original lustre and sheen with no dulling and in daylight look awesome. Placed under a 100w bulb there are no deep scratches to any side of this LP. There are just very light minimal hairline marks. There are 2 visible light scuffs to Side 1 only. I have graded this LP in EXCELLENT++ condition.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT++ condition.
MATRIX NO:
SIDE 1 WEA-50014-A2 SIDE 2 R/S ALSDORF50014 B3
THE LABELS: The labels are in EXCELLENT condition and showing just very light spindle marks around the central spindle hole.
