THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO DISTORTION NOISE AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUND CLICKS OR POPS
CLEAN AND CLEAR THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN SOME LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
OTHERWISE PERFECT STEREO AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
GLORIOUS ACOUSTIC GUITAR FROM START TO FINISH
I HEARD A FEW LITTLE DUST OR STATIC LIKE TICS ON SIDE A AND ONE SINGLE ONE ON SIDE B
I GRADE THE AUDIO EX+ / NM
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE BY WEST BROTHERS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS DEEP RICH AND VIBRANT COLOURS
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND SHOWS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON THE FRONT AND A LITTLE LIFT AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE ON THE REAR

THERE A LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING / AGEING TO THE EDGES

NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECTLY LAMINATED FROM CORNER TO CORNER. A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ON THE TOP ONLY

THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT.
