THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE / WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS. STUNNING GLOSSY SURFACE FREE FROM ANY IMPERFECTIONS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS AM IMMACULATE DISC IN EVERY WAY

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY 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, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO TICS OR POPS

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 AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE PRISTINE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR TO THIS SURFACE WHATSOEVER. NO COLOUR FADE EITHER

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

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. 

THREE OF THE THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE. THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE HAS A LITTLE DING AND SOME WEAR

THE TOP EDGE HAS NEAR PERFECT COLOUR WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS - JUST A MINUSCULE SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A DOT OF RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS 

THE SPINE IS  TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS VIRTUALLY ALL THERE APART FROM A LITTLE BIT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. IN ABSOLUTELY TOP CONDITION . BOTTOM RIGHT TIP HAS THAT LITTLE BIT OF WEAR

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

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