Description
SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO
EX+ SLEEVE
PERFECT SIGNATURE ON THE BACK
THE SIGNATURE WAS OBTAINED IN 1965 AFTER A SHOW AT THE CROYDON FAIRFIELD HALLS.
THE ORIGINAL OWNER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE WAS WITH HIS RATHER GLAMOUROUS WIFE, AND WHEN CHUCK LEFT THE ARENA HE TOLD HER TO GO AND GET THE AUTOGRAPH.
CHUCK HAD A LIKING FOR ATTRACTIVE WOMEN AND READILY GAVE UP HIS TIME AND HIS SIGNATURE FOR THE LADY
THE SIGNATURE IS AS YOU CAN SEE CLEAR AND BRIGHT AND IN BIRO, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THIS WAS NOT A RUSHED AUTOGRAPH
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 4-5 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
LOVELY GLOSSY HEAVYWEIGHT DISC. IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE A FEW NON SOUNDING DULL EMBEDDED STREAKS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WITHOPUT ANY CLICKS, SKIPS OR STICKS
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WAS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME SILENT PASSAGES
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NO LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A NICE SHINY LAMINATE FREE FROM LIFT, FLAKE OR PEEL
NO RING WEAR AND THE FOUR CORNERS ONLY HAVE A DOT OF RUB ON THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE EIGHT PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, SIX ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND FOUR THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH ONLY A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE MORE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS LIGHTLY SQUASHED IN THE MIDDLE. THE TIP ENDS ARE RUBBED, BUT THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE HAS LIGHT FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS. THE WHITENESS OF THE CARD HASSOME HANDLINMG AT THE EDGES
THE SIGNATURE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. VERY NEAT AND UNRUBBED..
