THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID WHITE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND RED LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO I CAN JUST ABOUT SEE ONE SMALL HAIRLINE AND A COUPLE OF DULL STREAKS EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED.
A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE, AND THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST PERFECT
USUALLY THIS SLEEVE YELLOWS BUT THIS COPY IS JUST AS NEW
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ARE BOTH IN PRISTINE CONDITION. FULLY COLOURED WITH UNBLEMISHED TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL BUT WITH A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH THE TIPS BOTH UNBLEMISHED, THE RED TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS.
THE FIRST ISSUE BLACK INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO SPLITS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
