THE RECORD
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK STEREO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. JUST 4-5 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN ,AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY JUST MAKE OUT A FEW VERY TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
INCREDIBLE STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A STEREO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED
THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS, AND ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM SPECKLES OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO MORE THAN A FEW RANDOM AND TINY DUST POPS OR TICS PLUS TWO VERY TINY LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE TICS IN THE INTRO TO THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE TWO
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT
IT IS YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS HOWEVER SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE SOME OF THE BEST COPIES. IT IS IN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL CONDITION
FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS NO BLEMISHES TO IT AT ALL.
NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAVE NOT FAED. THE SKY BLUE AREA WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND IN POOR CONDITION ON THIS SLEEVE HAS NO BLEMISHES
THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND JUST ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, PLUS A LIGHT CREASE LINE PARALLEL WITH THE OPENING EDGE
ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SQUARE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, JUST A PIN PRICK OF RIB THE TIP ENDS ON THE RIGHT
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND USQUASHED, ATHERE IS A LITTLE FLAKING OF THE LAMINATE BUT EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND MINT!!
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP , WITH JUST A MINUSCULE NICK ON THE REAR SURFACE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD, REVEALS AND ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND OF COURSE THAT CREAK AS YOU OPEN THE GATEFOLD
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. THERE ARE FIVE TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND NONE ELSEWHERE. ONE THUMB LINS
THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, HAVING NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COVER MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE
THE RED AND WHITE INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS. WHICH IS UNUSUAL AS MOST HAVE THEM
