THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS PERFECT, JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUM
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
ALL I HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH WERE SOME RANDOM MINUSCULE STATIC TICS HERE AND THERE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE THAT PLAYS TO A NEAR MINTSTANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
BECAUSE THE SLEEVE IS WHITE, THERE IS SOME MILD HANDLING EVIDENT , MORESO AROUND THE EDGES.
A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS NEAR THE SPINE AND A FEW LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT UNBLEMISHED COLOUR ALL THE WAY ACROSS INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE HAS A FEW LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THERE IS A LITTLE NATURAL RUB TO THE BLUE SURFACE AT THE LEADING EDGES SEEN THROUGH MY MAGNIFYING GLASS ONLY.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO HAS A FEW FOXING MOTTLES AND SOME AGEING / HANDLING TO THE WHITENESS. AGAIN MORE AROUND THE EDGES
THE LYRIC INSERT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION
NO SEAM SPLITS TO THIS FRAGILE PRIVATE PRESS SLEEVE
THE PLAIN INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT, HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
