THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

SUPERB MINT CONDITION GREEN HARVEST LABELS. 

THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,

 I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES, AND THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL IS STUNNING. GLEAMING LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.

EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOK MINT


THE TEST PLAY

THIS VINYL PLAYS INCREDIBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE AUDIO IS CRISP AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT AND PLAYS WITHOUT FAULT

SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES HAVE A TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED TEXTURED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR SCRATCHES. 

THE TEXTURED FINISH IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE, WITH ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THIS EDGE ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING WHICH IS MINT

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE OPENING EDGE IS  RAZOR SHARP

THE SPINE IS ALSO PRISTINE. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.

 ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR IS THERE RUNNING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS PRISTINE AND AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT


HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT 

 

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