PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUND CLICKS OR POPS
CLEAN AND CLEAR THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH NO MORE THAN A SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
NO DUST POPS OR TICS, JUST A COUPLE ON INSIGNIFICANT MINUSCULE STATIC LIKE TICS
I CONSERVATIVELY GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE BY ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT AND NOT FADED
THE FOUR CORNER ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR AND ONLY THE TINIEST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FULLY COLOURED , WITH UNDAMAGED COLOURS. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE HIS PERFECTLY FLAT. PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS TEXTURED LIKE THE FRONT AND THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT ALL ACROSS THE SURFACE. NO RING WEAR
SUPERB EXAMPLE AND WOULD BE HARD TO UPGRADE FROM
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
