THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND BLACK ELEKTRA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS A MINT RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED VINYL BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT!
I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY 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,
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
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 LMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.THE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECT EVERYWHERE APART FROM A THIN SLIVER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NO FADING EITHER
THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE HAS THE SPINE WORDING ON IT AND THIS IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS MINT
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE DELICATE COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE BLACKTYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND NO LINES NEAR THE EDGES
THE FLIMSY POLY LINED PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND SPLIT, BUT THIS COPY IS MINT. NO SPLITS , HEAVY CREASES OR WRINKLES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THE SURFACE.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
