THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
GLEAMING FIST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A COUPLE OFWISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE THAT STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR, AND THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED CLEARLY WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY AND ONLY HAS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD ONE OR TWO OF THE TINIEST DUST TICS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE A JUDGEMENT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
VERY OFTEN FOUND DOG EARRED, BUT HERE WE HAVE AN ALMOST MINT FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS NON LAMINATED IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
THERE ARE NO CREASES WHATSOEVER ON THIS SURFACE EITHER, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS.
A TRACE OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES ONLY
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGE HAS FULL COLOUR ALL THE WAY ALONG THE EDGE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A TINY NICK TO THE RIGHT TIP.
THE SPINE HAS SOME SQUASHING AND AGEING, BUT THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS, JUST FOUR TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE.
IMPORTANTLY THIS IS A CORRECT UK FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE WITH THE WARNING: COPYRIGHT SUBSISTS TEXT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED. A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE SEAMS
A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A NEAR MINT GRADE
