THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE FREE FROM ANY RUBBING.
THERE ARE 2-3 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS PRISTINE AND SHINES LIKE NEW.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE ULTRA FINE BARELY VISIBLE SKATE LINE ON SIDE ONE
PLAYING THE RECORD
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 IT SOUNDS.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO DISTORTION TO THIS PLAYBACK. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND NO AUDIBLE STATIC OTHER THAN SOME VERY LOW LEVEL STUFF IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES ONLY
NO AUDIBLE DUST POPS OR TICS THAT I HEARD
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!
IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM PRESS AND POST
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE COLOURS. AND THE SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY RUBBING WHATSOEVER
THERE IS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF AGEING TO THE EDGES
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO RUBBING WITH CLEAN TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL BUT HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END ONLY
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING, LIGHTLY AGED WITH UNBLEMISHED TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT, CLEAN AND FLAT CONDITION.
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
