PLAYS NEAR MINT WITH EASE

STUNNING MINT MINUS TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

 


THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE TEXTURED ORANGE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE  SPINDLE HOLE, A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST  2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES 

THE VINYL

THE LP SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY


THE DISC PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. I CANNOT BE CRITICAL OF THIS REPRODUCTION  IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE PLAYTHROUGH, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLI.

 THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW MINUSCULE LITTLE STATIC TICS AND A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH, AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED TEXTURED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB!!

MANY COPIES SUFFERE FROM RUBBING TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE , BUT THIS ONE IS JUST PERFECT

NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO FADING EITHER

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SLEEVE ,AND NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE

NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE  BOTTOM EDGE, NO  THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RECORD SHAPE OR ANY RING WEAR, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ONLY HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALMOST FULL COLOUR WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVING A SPECK OF RUB AND A FEW PIN PRICKS OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGES

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. SUPERB UNFADED COLOUR WITH JUST A DOT OF RUB ON THE ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP  

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

NO LYRIC SHEET

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

 

 

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