THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE BASE COLOUR AND BLACK LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS 3-4 SPIDER LINES BY IT 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY MINT

 UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE SOME NON SOUNDING EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS IN THE VISIBLE AND A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES


THE TEST PLAY

THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES

THIS STEREO ALBUM 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. 

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO LOUD  CLICKS, OR POPS EITHER, ALL I HEARD WERE 2-3 TINY LITTLE DUST TICS

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 MINUS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE BY ROBERT STACE


THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, WITH A CREASE LINE PARALELL WITH THE SPINE
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT

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

 THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE. THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE HAS A SMALL DING

NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED APART FROM A SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW WHITE FLECKS ON THE SURFACE AND SOME RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY WHITE, FLAT AND WITH PRISTINE TEXT AND ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY WHITE AND JUST HAS ONE THUMB MARK NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+



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