THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT WITH AN UNRUBBED RED AND BLACK TYPEFACE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE .
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY NEAR SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE NEW WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES
THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CLICKS AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC
I CANT SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS EITHER
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL GRADES NEAR MINT
TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY PRISTINE HAVING, A VERY SHINY SURFACE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES FOLDS OR BENDS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR THROUGH ANY RUBBING OR WEAR, OTHER THAN A TINY SPECK NEAR THE OPOENING EDGE AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY BIT OF RUB
THE TOP EDGE HAS FULL COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR RUNS PERFECTLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM . THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THE TOP TIP END IS THE ONLY PART THAT SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT SHADOW OF AGEING BY THE OPENING EDGE
THE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS JUST MILD EDGE AGEING
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
