THE RECORD


 

THE LABELS

 

THE GREY SURFACE ON BOTH LABELS IS PRISTINE AND UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE WHITE UA LOGO AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY AND EVEN A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS

EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

THERE IS ALSO SOME EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES VISIBLE IN THIS LIOGHT WHICH HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THE PLAY
