Description

FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

THE WATERSONS - THE WATERSONS

    INCREDIBLE EX+ AUDIO

    NEAR MINT SLEEVE 


    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE HAS A LITTLE RUB.THERE ARE 1-2 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

    THE VINYL

    THE VINYL IS STILL VERY GLOSSY. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKLS PERFECVTLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN AUNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

    THE TEST PLAY

    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS 

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE

    ALL I HEARD DURING THE COMPLETE PLAYTHROUGH WAS A FEW EXAMPLES OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW LINKING GROOVES AND SILENT PASSAGES.
    PLUS A FEW RANDOM LITTLE STATIC LIKE DUST TICS

    THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE  EX+ FOR THE AUDIO

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE


    THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPER CONDITION.DEEP RICH COLOURS AND NO GREYING OR RUBBING  

    THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE OTHER THAN A MINUSCULE SPOT OF LIFT IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

    THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

    THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. 

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE LAMINATE ON BOTH SURFACES AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

    THE SPINE IS FLAT. WITH UNBLEMISHED   ENDS

    THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

    THE REAR SURFACE IS IVERY WHITE WITH A THIN BAND OF AGEING ON THE TOP EDGE


    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT
