THE RECORD
THE LABELS
SUPERB UNMARKED ORANGE LABELS
A BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLES HOWS 3-4 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT .
UNDER A MAGNIFING LED HALO I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND RIGHT AT THE START OF SIDE TWO TRACK TWO ONE MINUSCULE LITTLE HANDLING MARK
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THAT TINY MARK ON SIDE TWO CAUSE THREE VERY LIGHT ROTATIONAL AND VERY LOW LEVEL TICS AS THE STYLUS PASSES OVER
EVERYWHERE ELSE THE AUDIO IS PERFECT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD FROM SHORWOOD
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RUBBING TO THE SPINE EDGE AND A LITTLE ON THE CORNER TIPS.
THERE ARE TEN PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE AND A LIGHT CREASE LINE PARALELL WITH THE SPINE
TWO PRESSURE LINES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THREE THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE ON THE FRONT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH LIGHTLY SHELF RUBBED
THE SPINE ALSO HAS SIGNIFICANT RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS INSIDE THE SLEEVE BY THE SPINE AND IS SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE HAS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR AND SOME EDGE PRESSURE LINES
THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS IN TOP CONDITION
THE CORRECT CBS ADVERTISING INNER IS IN GREAT SHAPE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE VG+
GARRY
