- VERY EARLY PRESS
SO VERY MANY QUIET PASSAGES IN THIS ALBUM, AND THEREFORE VERY VERY HARD TO FIND A COPY THAT IS FREE FROM BACKGROUND NOISES. THIS ONE IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT AND ANY COLLECTION WOULD BE ENHANCED BY OWNING IT
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS NO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND EVENB WHEN OFFERED UP A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT
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 DEMOSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
WITH BJH'S MUSIC YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT ANY BACKGROUND WILL BE HEARD THROUGH THE MANY MANY QUIET PASSAGES.
THERE IS JUST NONE AT ALL, JUST A CRISP CLEAR AND CLEAN WELL PRODUCED STEREO PERFORMANCE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO TICS OR POPS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES, JUST THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT MIRROR FINISH TO THIS LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.
THE FRONT SURFACE JUST SPARKLES. IT HAS AVERY HIGHLY POLISHED FINISH TO THE SURFACE.
A VERY MINOR LIGHT RIPPLE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS A VERY TINY NICK TO THE OPENING EDGE AT THE VERY TOP
THE TWO LEFT CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND THE TWO RIGHT ONES HAVE A SPECK OF RUB
THE TOP EDGES ARE FILLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ONLY HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LAMINATE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH JUST A MINISCULE SCUFF NEAR THE TOP AND A SPECK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM END
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EVERYWAY AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE. JUST TWO SPINE PRESSURE LINES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AVERY VERY WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE, FREE FROM ANY MARKS ETC. JUST AN ABSOLUTE TINY TRACE OF BROWNING TO THE VERY TOP EDGE
THE HARVEST ADVERTISING POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS A SEAM SPLIT ON ONE SIDE
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
