THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BURBANK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE TWO
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, CLEAN AUDIO AND ONLY THE ODD RANDOM SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES AND OR MOST SILENT PASSAGES
A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC LIKE TICS
NOTHING TO MAR THE OUTSTANDING AUDIO PERFORMANCE
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF NEAR MINT
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM SHOREWOOD
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS CLEAN RICH COLOURS
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE TIP RUB
THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS SOME SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACE
THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY A COUPLE OF SMALL SPECKS OF RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT , PERFECT TEXT. THE ENDS HAS A SPECK OF RUB AND THE WHITENESS IS A LITTLE GRUBBY
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE SHOWS A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING AND HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACE, BUT THE INKS REMAIN UNRUBBED
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
