FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com TRACY CHAPMAN - CROSSROADS
MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO
FIRST PRESS WITH A SUPERB MINT SLEEVE
THE LABELS
THE GREY AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
SILENT THROUGH THE LINKING GROOVES AND QUIET PASSAGES
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE NON LAMINATED MATTE SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. AND UNFADED
THE HYPE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE.
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ON EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING AND IT TOTALLY MINT. NO RUB EVEN AT THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALSO MINT
THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. IN MAGNIFICENT UNSQUASHED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND UNFADED AND MATCHES THE FRONT AND BACK PERFECTLY
EVRY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OR COLOUR LOSS OR CREASES. INCREDIBLY ONCE AGAIN NO LINES WHATSOEVER, NOT EVEN NEAR THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ANYWHERE
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE GATEFOLD LYRIC INSERT IS ALSO MINT
