VG+ SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE ARE 1-2 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE OTHER THAN A SOUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
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
THE VINYL PLAYS TO PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
JUST A COUPLE OF TINY POPS OR TICS
THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE E.J.DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SOME GREYING ON THE OUTER EDGES WITH THE MAJORITY BEING ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THIS IS CAUSED THROUGH STORAGE IN A COLLECTION, PULLING AND PUSHING THE SLEEVE IN AND OUT OF THE RECORDS
THERE ARE JUST THREE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MILD SHELF WEAR AND SOME RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE AND UNFADED COLOURS. THE BOTTOM END HAS A LITTLE RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WHICH IDENTIFIES THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEN IN AND OUT OF THE SLEEVE, HENCE THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RING WEAR AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE INNER PANELS, WITH LIGHT GREYING ON THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
