FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com THREE MAN ARMY - A THIRD OF A LIFETIME
SUPERB EX++ AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND UNMARKED, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. EVERY LETTER OF THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ALMOST FLAWLESS, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY DULL HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD WAS A VERY SLIGHT TINY TRACE OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE A FEW OF MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND ALSO A FEW RANDOM TICS
I GRADE THE AUDIO AS EX++
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IS REMARKABLE CONDITION. HIS IS ONE OF THOSE SLEEVE THAT IS USUALLY FOUND VERY GRUBBY WITH PAPER TEARS, BUT THIS ONE IS AS GOOD AS I HAVE SEEN FOR YEARS
THE PALE YELLOW COLOUR IS STILL RICH , VIBRANT AND UNFADED. JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES OF THIS POROUS SURFACE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND INCREDIBLY ONLY THREE VERY TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON 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 WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIPS
THE TOP EDGES ARE ALSO STILL VERY YELLOW WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE BARELY VISIBLE RUBBING
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS 100% PERFECTLY LEGIBLE , AND THERE IS JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE ENDS. THE COLOUR HAS FADED SLIGHTLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME GLORIOUS CONDITION AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
