Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.comTHE LABELS
THE RED WHITE LABELS ARE IN CLEAN CONDITION. NO WRITING OR MARKS AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE NUMEROUS SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE RECORD
SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
THESE ARE SURFACE ONLY AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON THE AUDIO AS YOU WILL HEAR
PLUS A COUPLE OF HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
NOTHING FEELABLE ANYWHERE
PLAYING THE RECORD
I WILL START BY DETAILING THE ONE FLAW THAT IS AUDIBLE ON THE RECORD.
THERE ARE SIX TRACKS ON SIDE TWO. AFTER THE SIXTH TRACK ENDS THERE IS A SMALL BAND OF VINYL WHERE THE BAND ARE INTRODUCED TO THE LISTENER. RIGHT AT THE START OF THIS THERE IS SOME NOISE AND A SKIP. IT LASTS ABOUT 2 ROTATIONS ONLY
OTHER THAN THIS THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO HEAVY CRACKLE
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE LOW LEBEL BACKGROUND
AND A LITTLE JUST BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS IN THE RUN IN
AND A FEW TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT FOR SIDE A AND EX FOR SIDE B DUE TO THE FLAW AT THE END
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT. NON LAMINATED REAR - CLOUT AND BAKER SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS LAMINATED
THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG SIDE THE SPINE
THE COLOURS UNDERNEATH ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT
THE BOTTOM CORNERS HAVE SOME RUB TO THEM
NO RING WEAR , JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THERE ARE NINE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NINE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
FIVE THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A BIT OF RUB TO BOTH CORNERS
THE SPINE SHOWS THE PRESSURE LINES THAT ARE ON THE FRONT WHICH HAVE CREPT ONTO THIS SURFACE AND CRACKED THE LAMINATE
THE OPENING EDGE IS A LITTLE FEATHERED
THE REAR SURFACE FAIRLY GRUBBY AND HAS A SIGNATURE ON IT
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
