THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS SIDE ONE STILL LOOKS PERFECT, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES, WHILST SIDE TWO HAS A VERY FINE BUT SMALL SCUFF AND A FEW HAIRLINES ON THE SURFACE
THE TEST PLAY
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THERE IS NOT ONE SECOND OF DISTORTION TO THIS AMAZING SOUND, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
NO DUST POPS OR TICS HEARD
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE PLAY, BUT NOTHING THAT DETERS FROM THE OVERALL SOUND QUALITY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT / EX+ (SIDE 2), FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN SO THAT YOU CAN GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS SLEEVE THEN DROP TO THE NEXT PARAGRAPH. IF YOU DON'T THEN SIMPLY WHILST THE SLEEVE LOOKS WORN OUT, IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK THAT WAY. IT WAS CREATED TO LOOK LIKE A VERY RINGWORD AND RUBBED SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASING OR BENDING TO ANY PART OF IT
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND IS FREE FROM LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB ON THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. FOUR SMALL ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, CLUSTERED TOGETHER IN THE LEFT CORNER. ELEVEN ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND OF WHICH TEN ARE CLUSTERED IN THE LEFT CORNER AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. PERFECT TYPEFACE AND A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMLAR TO THE FRONT, BUT WITH ONE TINY PATCH OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE TOP OF THE SPINE, AND ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
