THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS A TRULY MINT DISC IN EVERY WAY
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.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC HEARD EITHER IN THE LINKING GROOVES OR SILENT PASSAGES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT !!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.THE SURFACE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
THE COLOUR IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED CONDITION
THE 'IRON MAIDEN IN BENELUX' TOUR HYPE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP LEFT QUADRANT
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP END
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURED SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS UNSQUASHED AND HAD NO DIMPLES. THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. THE BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN WITH THE ENDS SHOWING ONLY THE MOST MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
