[DOESN'T COME NEAR !!!]
I'VE ONLY JUST NOTICED & IT CAN ONLY REALLY BE SEEN UNDER VERY BRIGHT LIGHTING THAT IT GLARED AT ME VERY SLIGHTLY IN ONE AREA AT ONE POINT ONLY ON ITS EXTREME OUTER EDGE..
SO IT SEEMS VERY HARSH TO CALL IT AN ACTUAL ' WARP 'BECAUSE ITS ONLY THE FEINTEST SLIGHTEST /VERY MINISCULE IN COMPARISON WITH REAL WARPING [DOESN,T AFFECT OR MOVE THE PLAYING ARM AT ALL, BEING ONLY A NOTICEABLE FEINT/SLIGHT ON ITS OUTER TIP EDGING ]
IT IS QUITE HARD TO SPOT OR NOTICE UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IT & TOTALLY NON AFFECTING IN ANY WAY AT ALL!! THE RECORD STILL SITS DEAD FLAT & ROTATES DEAD FLAT BOTH SIDES REGARDLESS!! ~[THATS HOW SMALL & UNAFFECTING IT IS!!!]
I'VE NOW CHECKED IT THOROUGHLY & I CAN CONFIRM THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE LIFTING/DISTORTION AT THIS POINT OR ANTWHERE ELSE AS THE RECORD ROTATES & PLAYS BOTH SIDES!!!]
I DO FEEL IT HAS TO BE MENTIONED IN ALL FAIRNESS ALTHOUGH SOME MIGHT NOT BOTHER OR EVEN NOTICE IT AT ALL!!!
SLEEVE CONDITION::
ORIGINAL COMPANY SLEEVE IS CLEAN, CRISP, SOLID & STRONG EX HAVING NO FAULTS AT ALL.
VERY DECENT, RESPECTABLE ~EXAMPLE.~~HARDLY EVER TURNS UP!!! ~MEGA RARE & NOT TO BE MISSED !!!!!!
I TRY TO GRADE CONSERVATIVELY~MY GRADING IS SAFE & FAIR ~WHEREBY YOU WON'T GET ANY NASTY SURPRISES...
I STRIVE TO GIVE A LITTLE!!~ RATHER THAN TAKE THE LOT!!!
BARGAIN START!!!!...
