THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS 1-2 SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
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
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO 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. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH THE MOST MINUSCULE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS PERFECT, JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BLACK BASE COLOUR IS ALSO PERFECT
THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNDAMAGED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP, AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE TOP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE LYRIC CARD INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN NICE CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO MARKS AND ONLY LIGHT GREYING TO THE BLACK AREAS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
