THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS ZERO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!! THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION BOTH DISCS TILL LOOK PRISTINE
THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE VINYL PERFORMS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ON THE RECORD THERE IS NEAR SILENCE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE. THIS CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VOLUME.
THE CLARITY OF THE FIRST PRESS IS VERY AUDIBLE AND THE RECORDING IS JUST SUPERB
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO MORE STATIC AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT CAN ONLY GRADE MINT
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WITH PASTE ON REAR SURFACE
THE FRONT SURFACE STILL MOST OF THE RICH COLOURS PERFECTLY FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THERE IS A LITTLE GREYING ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS SOME CREASE LINES ACROSS IT
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. TWO ON THE TOP EDGE. TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE HAS A SMALL NICK IN THE UPPER AREA
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. NO SPLITS LIKE A LOT OF US SLEEVES, AND ONLY A FEW SPECKS OF LIGHT RUB. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AREA DOES HAVE SOME MORE DEFINED SHELF WEAR
THE TOP EDGE HAS SOME RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP, AND SOME PAPER SPLIT AND RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE. RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS AND A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES ARE FREE FROM SPLITS WITH A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX++++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
