NEAR MINT SLEEVE



THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE 

THE TEST PLAY

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

THE VINYL PLAYS TO PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NOT EVEN ANY STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT  FOR THE AUDIO

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS


THE SLEEVE

 

 LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED PASTE ON REAR


THE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE AND VERY GLOSSY
DEEP RICH COLOURS UNDER THE LAMINATE

THE BOTTOM TWO CORNER TIPS AND THE TOP RIGHT ALL HAVE TINY DINGS TO THE TIPS

THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE COLOUR AND LAMINATE ON BOTH SURFACES WITH ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS BEING PERFECT

THE SPINE IS FLAT. PRISTINE LAMINATE, TEXT AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS CREASES IN THE PASTE ON WHERE IT WASN'T CORRECTLY ADHERED AT THE FACTORY, BUT IS STILL SUPERBLY WHITE AND FREE FROM MARKS OR STAINS

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

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

THE HYPE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
