BABE RUTH - AMAR CABALLERO

SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO

 WITH A MINT MINUS SLEEVE 

 

THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

 

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 SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES 

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

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND ALSO IN THE QUITEST PASSAGES
JUST THE ODD SPECK OF NATURAL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME QUIET PASSAGES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH JUST 2-3 TINY STATIC TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT

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

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

UNLAMINATED MATTE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.

THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP AND NONE  ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH  PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THERE IS A LITTLE LOSS OF COLOUR IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE PRESSURE LINES SIT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT  NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE  

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT MINUS
