    PLAYS TO A MINT GRADE  

    SUPERB MINT MINUS SIX PANEL FOLD OUT SLEEVE

    HAS THE LIBERTY - UNITED ARTISTS RIM WORDING
     

    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    THE CREA, LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS TOTALLY  UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES, WHICH HAVE 2-3 BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES 

     

    THE VINYL

    THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS LOOKS SUPERB. THEY HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM,AND THEY LOOKS FLAWLESS.

    UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO EACH SIDE STILL LOOKS PRISTINE

    THE TEST PLAY


    THIS  ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL . THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR. 

    GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS NEAR SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH ALL FOUR SIDES.

    THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE  SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS  SILENT

    NO VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, SKIPS STICKS OR JUMPS


    NO TICS OR POPS AT ALL 
    NO AUDIBLE BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!

    I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT 

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GOLD OUT SLEEVE

    MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE ARE FOUND VERY RING WORN AND WITH NU,EROUS CREASES, CREASE LINES AND EDGE PRESSURE LINES. THIS ONE IS BETTER THAN ANY I HAVE SEEN

     I BELIEVE IT WOULD WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION

    THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS AND HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED AND UNFADED. 

    NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

    THERE ARE TWO VERY SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE

    NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
    THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

    THE TOP EDGES ARE PLAIN BARE CARD AND ARE STILL VERY SHARPWITH JUST  FEW MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE  TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE VERY SMALL CHIP TO THE COLOUR ABOVE THE WORD HAWKWING ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE. THE ENDS HAVE NO RUB

    THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT

    OPENING THE SLEEVE FULLY REVEALS SIX PRISTINE PANELS BOTH FRONT AND BACK
    THE TWO RED AND YELLOW INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND UNCREASES. ONE HAS A SMALL SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE WHILST THE OTHERHAS THE SAME SPLIT BUT ALSO A TINY TEAR TO THE THUMB NOTCH AT THE TOP

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD



    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
