THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE SUNRISE  LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE


THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT  LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT. 

 WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I CAN SEE ARE SOME DULL EMBEDDED FLECKS IN THE PRESS, AND A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES



THE TEST PLAY

NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH FROM START TO FINISH

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY NEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION WHICH IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT

MOSTLY DEAD SILENT LINKING GROOVES WITH A FEW HAVING A SPECK OF NATURAL VINYL NOISE

THERE ARE SOME RANDOM DUST POPS AND LIGHT STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE PLAY AND A FEW TINY ONES AS SIDE ONE STARTS

I BELIEVE THIS PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT GRADE

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

  

THE SLEEVE

FULLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

 THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY  CREASES OR CREASE LINES. 

THE INKS ARE DEEP AND RICH AND HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

NO RING WEAR  OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS ONLY

THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A TINY BIT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS AS WELL

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING.  THE TEXT IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

A SMALL SLIVER OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM END

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
