BERT JANSCH CONUNDRUM - THIRTEEN DOWN

NEAR MINT AUDIO

EX SLEEVE


THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE CREAM COLOURED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE ARE 1-2 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER  A MAGNIFIED LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE OTHER THAN A FEW TINY 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 VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO  PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

JUST A COUPLE OF TINY POPS OR TICS AND THE ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND

THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO


 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE


THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP, TICH AND UNFADED COLOURS, WITH THE HYPE STICKER FIRMLY IN PLACE

THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. SIX ON THE TOP EDGE. FOUR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE. A LIGHT CREASE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB AT THE TIPS

THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MILD AGEING AND SOME RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE AND ALSO SHOWS SOME AGEING. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WHICH IDENTIFIES THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEN IN AND OUT OF THE SLEEVE, HENCE THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE EX

 

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