THE TEST PLAY


THE RECORD PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE STANDARD

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE RANDOM STATIC TICS

THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE ON THIS ALBUM EAILY GRADES MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO THE RECORDING AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS


THE SLEEVE

THIS IS A TEXTURED NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE, WITH A TRANSPARENT CENTRE PRINTED WITH IMAGES OF THE BAND. THE CARD INSERT COMPLETES THE BAND PICTURES WHEN SLID BEHIND THE CLEAR PANEL

THE FRONT SURFACE SOME MILD RING WEAR AND THE BOTTOM CORNERS SHOW SOME RUBBING

THE DIE CUT RECTANGLE HAS NO TEARS OR NICKS AND THE PVC WINDOW IS ALSO FREE FROM MARKS

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS ALMOST FULLY COLOURED WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME HEAVY RUB TO BOTH CORNERS

THE SPINE HAS SOME LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS AND RUB AT BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE HAS SOME FEATHERING

THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS ABD ONLY ONE LIGHT BOTTOM CORNER CREASE LINE

 I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VG+

 

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