THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT ONLY SHOWS A NON SOUNDING TINY HANDLING LINE ON MONEY AND A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
A STUNNING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION WHICH IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT
SILENT THROUGH THE QUITEST PASSAGES AND THE LINKING GROOVES
NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB THROUGH THE QUIETEST SECTIONS
A STUNNING PERFORMANCE FROM START TO FINISH
THE LP JUST HASN T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE WITH I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE AS MINT MINUS
BUT DON T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE. VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION
HAS THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP STICKER AFFIXED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THE ONLY SLIGHT BLEMISH IS ONE TINY DING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE.
THE SURFACE IS VERY BLACK
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
THREE MINUSCULEP PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE PERFECTLY BLACK AND ONLY THE CORNER TIPS HAVE A DOT OF RUB
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN . THE BLACK SURFACE HAS A FEW FLECKS OF WHITE ON THE LEADING EDGES AND A LITTLE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN A SIMILAR CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE INNER GATEFOLD IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE POSTERS ARE FREE FROM SPLITS AND BOTH HAVE RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES.
THE STICKERS ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH THE PERMANENT ON THE BACK
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
