THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THERE IS NO TEXT OR ANY OTHER MARKING ON THE LABEL, 

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER BY THE HOLE. SOME RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE 

THE TEST PLAY


THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT 

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON-LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE THERE 

THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR , OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED APART FROM A SMALL BIT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AND BRIGHT AS THE FRONT

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

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