RUSH - GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO

COMPLETE WITH MINT MINUS!!!!  SLEEVE

and PICTURE INNER


 

 

CATALOGUE:VERTIGO VERH 12  MATRIX: 6337243 A//2 v 130 / B//2  130 'MASTERDISK' STAMPED INTO DEAD WAX BOTH SIDES

 


THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE MULTICOLOURED VERTIGO LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.

NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S

THERE IS ONE BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE 

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND ALMOST THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION. JUST A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE A


PLAYING THE RECORD

 

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO STATIC EITHER

NO DUST POPS OR ANY OTHER UNWANTED NOISES

I DID HEAR A TINY SPECKLE OF STATIC TOWARDS THE END OF SIDE A

THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. 

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECT. FULLY COLOURS WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO WEAR TO EITHER TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES, JUST A COUPLE OF FOXING MOTTLES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT MINUS!

 

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