THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL SILVER AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND SILVER LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN.
THERE IS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS SPOTLESS IN DAYLIGHT .
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THIS ALBUM STILL LOOKS FLAWLESS. IT IS CLEARLY VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED AND LOOKS MINT

THE TEST PLAY

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

A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN SOUND FROM START TO FINISH

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS AND POPS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISES

NO TICS OR POPS

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM THE SUPERB AUDIO 

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS  LP  MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

BUT I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE AS YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

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

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THE LAMINATE IS FREE FROM ANY PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

THERE ARE JUST FOUR LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE  FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT.

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED. AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE THUMB NAIL NICKS AND A LITTLE FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS 

THE VULNERABLE NON-LAMINATED POROUS WHITE SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT IS IN NEAR PERFECT STATE, JUST THE MILDEST SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE ADVERTISING EMI INNER IS CLEAN BUT A LITTLE AGED. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES

 I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

 

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