THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER  LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. DEEP RICH  COLOUR THAT FULLY RUNS INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE - NO RUBBING

THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS LITTLE PLAY

THE RECORD

SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS

 UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES on side A AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HAIRLINES ON SIDE B

PLAYING THE RECORD

THIS ALBUM PLAYS CLEANLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A CLEAN SHARP STEREO SOUND THAT IS LOUD AND POWERFUL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO SKIPS OR STICKS OR JUMPS

SUPERB CLEAR VOCALS

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND TO BE HEARD ANYWHERE AND THERE ARE MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC

ALL YOU WILL HEAR DURING THE PLAY ARE A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS / DUST POPS

IT IS AN INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE

  I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT 

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

  

THE SLEEVE 

LAMINATED FRONT / NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE WITH FLIPBACKS

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED A HEALTHY SHEEN TO THE LAMINATE

THERE IS A TINY PATCH OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND A SMALL SIVER AGAINST THE SPINE NEAR THE TOP

THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS

NO RING WEAR  JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE

NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO  ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE  OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS FULL LAMINATE APART FROM A SPECK OF RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE WEAR IN THE LEFT CORNER

THE SPINE HAS RUB AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE STILL  SHARP  WITH A COUPLE OF THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS. THE NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH A LITTLE VERY LIGHT FGOXING AND SOME HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE

A REALLY CLEAN REAR SURFACE WHEN COMPARED TO MOST

 I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX

 

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