THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS  ARE IN  PRISTINE CONDITION. NO WRITING , AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THE BLACK TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION

THERE ARE JUST 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE RECORD

SUPERB  GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS  THERE ARE JUST A FEW SMALL WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES 

ONE ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINE AND A LITTLE EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLING

THE TEST PLAY

THIS ALBUM PLAYS  SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES

THERE IS NO DISTORTION  AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS

THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISES

NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

THERE IS A TINY BIT OF OCCASIONAL VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND BEHIND THE MUSIC

SIDE ONE HAS SOME LIGHT TICS AND POPS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIDE AND THEN AFTERWARDS PERFORMS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE SECON HALF

SIDE TWO STARTS SUPERBLY. AFTERWARDS A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS, BUT OVERALL A SUPERB AUDIO PRESENTATION AND ALMOST GTRADES NEAR MINT

BUT TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 I  GRADE THE AUDIO EX/EX+

  

THE SLEEVE 

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED BACK SINGLE SLEEVE WITH REAR FLIPBACKS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN LOVELY CONDITION

THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT AND NOT FADED

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

NO RING WEAR  OR RECORD SHAPE

GLEAMING MARK FREE LAMINATED SURFACE WITHOUT ANY LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

THERE ARE FIVE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO  ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND FIVE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH JUST A SPECK OF FLAKE IN THE RIGHT CORNER. THE RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A LITTLE RUB

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION ACROSS THE SURFACE

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT.  PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND  PERFECT COLOUR FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. A  SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE ONLY HAS A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECT FLIPBACKS. THERE IS SOME MILED AGEING TO THE SURFACE

 I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+

 

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