Description
THE SMITHS - HOW SOON IS NOW
SUPERB MINT AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST 1-2 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN.
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO CRACKLE AND NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE THING AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LP STYLE 12" PICTURE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPER CONFITION
THE COLOURS ARE STILL VERY RICH AND VIBRANT NO RUB OR FADE
THE THREE SEALED EDGES HAVE NO SPLITS
THERE IS A LIGHTER BLUE SHADE BY THE SPINE, AND I AM NOT CERTAIN BUT I SUSPECT THIS MAY BE A MISSPRINTED SLEEVE
A COUPLE OF EDGE PRESSURE LINES
A COUPLE OF SMALL AREAS OF RUB ON THE CORNERS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
