THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE ARE A FEW  DULL SURFACE HANDLING LINES TO BE SEEN. 

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION , THE SAME PLUS WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW MARKS

THE TEST PLAY

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE A RISK OF BUYING WITHOUT KNOWING

THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.

THIS MEANS THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR CAUSED BY A HEAVY OR DAMAGED STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND, AUDIBLE IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES

THIS IS NOT CONTINUOUS

A FEW LITTLE RANDOM  POPS AND TICS HERE AND THERE, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS

A VERY ACCEPTABLE PLAYTHROUGH

AUDIBLY I WOULD SAY A GRADE OF EX IS THE LOWEST IT COULD BE

 BUT TAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF

BEST LISTENED TO THROUGH A PC WITH SPEAKERS NOT A PHONE

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE..

THERE ARE NINE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE. AND THREEON THE BOTTOM, ALSO THREE SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT SURFACE SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE  PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING SHOWS AT EACH TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE HAS SOME LIGHT BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.WITH A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES ON THEM

THE VULNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, AND ONLY SHOWS THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+

 

 

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