THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE 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 JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES, 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 FLAWLESS
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES
A SUPERB EXAMPLE
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
A FEW TINY STATIC TICS
AUDIBLY THE RECORD GRADES NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
MACNEILL PRESS
LIKE MANY LAMINATED SLEEVES THERE IS A LITTLE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE
THERE IS ALSO A PATCH ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND THREE THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED AND HAS NO RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT LAMINATE , COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TAPERED ENDS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE LIKE THE FRONT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
