THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BUTTERFLY 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 TINY SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
SUPER GLOSSY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN SEE JUST 2-3 ULTRA FINE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES LINES ON THE SURFACE
THERE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON THE AUDIO
MAGNIFICENT LOOKING RECORD IN DAYLIGHT AND UNDER SPOTLIGHT
I SUSPECT PLAYED NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TIMES EVER
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS OR STICKS OR JUMPS
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
NO TICS OR DUST POPS
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MACNEILL PRESS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE
NO RUB WHATSOEVER
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL NICELY SQUARE AND SHARP
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE IMMACULATE. NO COLOUR LOSS AND PRISTINE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. BOTH TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT SCUFF ON THE BOTTOM OF AMELIA'S FACE BUT IS OTHERWISE AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT
THE INSERT SHEET IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER IS PRISTINE
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
