PLAYS TO A MINT GRADE
INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
MINT MINUS SLEEVE
THIS SHADOWS EP CAME FROM A CLASSICAL RECORD COLLECTOR WHO COLLECTED 'STEREO' PRESSES. YOU KNOW HOW CAREFULL TOP NOTCH CLASSICAL RECORD COLLECTORS ARE WITH THEIR RECORDS. THIS IS NO EXCEPTION
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND BLUE LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY IT
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY MINT
EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE AND IT STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS EP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THIS MONO RECORD PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
MANY MANY 60'S COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL HAS NONE OF THAT.
BUT AS MENTIONED AT THE TOP THIS BELONGED TO A CLASSICAL COLLECTOR WHO ONLY BOUGHT STEREO AND WAS METICULOUS WITH HIS RECORDS. A REAL JOY TO FIND (THIS WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN MONO)
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
NO CLICKS, OR POPS EITHER, JUST A COUPLE OF DUST POPS
INCREDIBLE AUDIO THROUGH ALL 4 TRACKS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS - SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, NO LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR EVEN LIFT
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AT ALL
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND HAVE NO DAMAGE OR SCUFFING. ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE PERFECT
THE SPINE IS ALSO MAGNIFICENT. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND UNDAMAGED. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNWORN.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND IS STILL WHITE
THE FLIPBACKS ARE PRISTINE ON ALL THREE EDGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
