THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!! 

THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS ONE TINYWISPY AND VERY FINE HAIRLINE

THE PLAYTHROUGH

THE VINYL PERFORMS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 

THE CLARITY OF THE FIRST PRESS IS VERY AUDIBLE AND THE RECORDING IS JUST SUPERB

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO TICS OR POPS WHATSOEVER

A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT CAN ONLY GRADE   MINT 

BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS


THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE STILL HAS ALL OF THE RICH COLOURS PERFECTLY FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE  WITH A DOT OF RUB ON A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS NEAR  PRISTINE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE HAS PERFECT TEXT AND A DOT OF RUB ON THE TOP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. 

THE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SPLITS . 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

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