THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO CAN I DEE 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 LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF LOW LEVE LIGHT BACKGOUND IN A FEW OF THE MORE SILENT SPOTS, I HEARD ONE DUST POP IN 'BIG BALLS'
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS SINGLE SLEEVE .
THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE POWDERY SURFACE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH THE TINIEST LITTLE DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAD A LITTLE RUB AT BOTH CORNERS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
NO RUBBING OTHER THAN A TINY SPECK ON THE BOTTOM END
THE OPENING EDGE IS JSTILL VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST UNSPLIT. THE THUMB NOTCH IS UNDAMAGED, AND THE SEAMS ARE UNSCUFFED. THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES IS FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND THE ONLY LIGHT BLEMISH IS SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING AT THE EDGES
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
