THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE NO TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 35 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO I CAN SEE ONE MINUSCULE MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 4 SIDE ONE
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 LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT
AT THE START OF 'NERVOUS BREAKDOW' THERE ARE THREE TICS BEFORE THE MUSIC GETS GOING. USING MY MAGNIFIER I COULD SEE A TINY MARK WHERE IS SUPECT THE STYLUS HAD BEEN DROPPED AT THE IS POINT. IT IS THE ONLY MINOR BLEMISH ON AN OTHERWISE PERFECT AUDIO PERFORMANCE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT / MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, UNRUBBED AND JUST PRISTINE.THIS INCLUDES ALL OF THE EMBOSSED AREAS WHICH ARE ALSO IMMACULATE.

THE SPINE IS MINT. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE, AND IT IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE.NOT EVEN A THUMB NAIL NICK ANYWHERE ALONG IT
