    THE RECORD 

     

    THE LABELS

    THE  GREEN IMPULSE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .

    THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

    THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY 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 49 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
    EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE  
    A PERFECT MINT ALBUM

    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  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 AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS, JUS THE ODD TINY SPECKLE OF BARELY AUDUIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
    SILENT LINKING GROOVES - AN IMMACULATE AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH

     I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

    REALLY AMAZING TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN SUCH INCREDIBLE CONDITION
     

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS  IT IS THAT GOOD

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE .

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. 

    THIS HAS ESCAPED AND SERIOUS AND UNSIGHTLY RUBBING ONLY SHOWING A SMALL PATCH OF GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE 

    US COVERS ARE NOTORIOUS AT BEING POOR FOR RING WEAR AND SEAM SPLITS, BUT VERY FEW HAVE PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES

    NO RING WEAR AMAZINGLY

    THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A SMALL BIT OF RUB, WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT ONE HAVING A TINY DING

    THERE IS ONE PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE, NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, OR THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THE TOP EDGES ONLY HAVE A FEW SPECKS OF RUB, AND A LITTLE MORE ON THE CORNER TIPS.

    THE BOTTOM EDGES DO HAVE A LITTLE MORE SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACES, MOSTLY IN THE CORNER AREAS

    THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. ALMOST NO WEAR AND THE WHITE COLOUR HAS AGED OVER THE YEARS A LITTLE

    THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER.
    THE FRONT SEALED EDGE SHOWS SOME RUBBING TO THE SUREFACE IN PATCHES

    THE REAR SURFACE HASSOME LIGHT RING WEAR 

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO VERY CLEAN INNER PANELS . THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT FOXING TO THE WHITE AREAS AND HANDLING TO THE EDGES

    THE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS

      THIS SLEEVE GRADES  EX
