THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS ALMOST PERFECT, JUST ONE VERY FINE HANDLING LINE ON THE FIRST TWO TRACKS OF SIDE TWO AND A TINY CLUSTYER OF TINY HAIRLINES ON TRACK TWO
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS EXTEMELY CLEANLY THROUGHOUT
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A FEW RANDOM PLACES ON SIDE TWO
AND A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS, WELL BEHIND THE MUSIC
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINTTANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM E.J DAY
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE.
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO PEEL, LIFT OT FLAKE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP RIGHT TIP END
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED WITHOUT BLEMISH TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . PRISTINE WHITE SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD SHOWS JUST A LITTLE HANDLING / AGEING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+++
