LABELS DO NOT CARRY "HER MAJESTY" CREDIT.
THE GLOSSY, HEAVIER WEIGHT VINYL IS STUNNING AND AGAIN NEAR MINT, CLEARLY THIS HAS ONLY RECEIVED A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF CAREFUL PLAYS, POSSIBLY ONLY TWO. THE VINYL DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD EXPECTED LIGHT WISPY SURFACE MARKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE DURING HANDLING, THESE ARE ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE VINYL IS EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, THERE ARE NO NEEDLE MARKS PRESENT AND IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THIS APPEARS TO BE MINT . THIS VERY IMPRESSIVE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT AND THERE IS NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED.
AUDIO IS NEAR PERFECT...THERE IS SOME VERY MILD CRACKLE EVIDENT TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH FINE WITH NO POPS. STICKS OF JUMPS.....A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO!
THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT BLACK INNER IS TRULY SUPERB,IT DISPLAYS JUST VERY MILD STORAGE CREASING BUT NO SIGNS OF AGE OR WEAR. THE INNER IS STILL VERY VERY CLEAN AND STILL VERY CRISP.
THE OUTER LAMINATED SLEEVE WHICH FEATURES THE MISALIGNED APPLE LOGO IS A VERY GOOD+/ EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. WHEN ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT THE FRONT DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT EDGE WRINKLE AND SOME "THUMBNAIL" TYPE CREASES, MAINLY TOWARDS THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A VERY TINY SECTION OF LAMINATE LIFT TO THE SPINE EDGE BUT THE LAMINATE IS NOT SPLIT OR CRACKED. THE FRONT RETAINS ITS DEEP GLOSS AND SHEEN. THERE IS JUST THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF WEAR EVIDENT TO OPENING EDGE BUT THIS IS NOT SEVERE AND THE EDGES ARE STRAIGHT AND SQUARE WITH NO WEAR PRESENT AND JUST MINOR CORNER BUMPS ARE VISIBLE.. THE REAR HAS AGAIN JUST MINIMAL EDGE WRINKLES VISIBLE AND SIMILAR BUT FEWER "THUMBNAIL" CREASES, THE REAR RETAINS ITS DEEP GLOSS. THE SPINE IS FREE FROM WEAR OR CREASES AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE. THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS DEEP AND VIBRANT COLOURING WITH STRONG AND BOLD LETTERING AND THE REAR CARRIES THE MISALIGNED APPLE LOGO..
OVERALL A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE THIS ORIGINAL UK DOUBLE MISS-PRESSING WHICH OFFERS POSSIBLY PLAYED TWICE VINYL, NEAR PERFECT AUDIO AND WHICH IS COMPLETE WITH ITS STUNNING ORIGINAL BLACK INNER.
