THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE DEEP BLUE MATT LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UN-RUBBED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO MINT . I HAVE CLOSELY EXAMINED THE SPINDLE HOLE AND CAN SEE NO MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE SHOWING JUST HOW CAREFULLY THIS VOLUME WAS HANDLED.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES WHICH ARE NON SOUNDING AND A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE PIN PRICK MARKS
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 DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST AWESOME, AND BOTH LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR AND TRULY REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW A FIRST PRESS SHOULD SOUND
THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE.
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, SKIPS OR STICKS ETC
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE TICS IN TRACK TWO, SIDE ONE,AND A FEW IN TRACK ONE SIDE TWO
PLUS THE ODD TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE VOLUME AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
AN E.J DAY LAMINATED FRONT AND REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE IN THE MOST AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION. THIS ALSO HAS ONLY THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE REAR SURFACE
I WANT TO START WITH LAMINATE. MOST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM HAVE SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THE COATING. BE IT LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT, BUT THIS COPY HAS NO SUCH ISSUES AT ALL. ALSO DUE TO THE FLIMSY NATURE OF THE SLEEVE, THE SLIGHTEST BEND WOULD CAUSE LAMINATE LINES TO APPEAR AT THE SPINE.THIS ONE HAS NONE
THIS INCREDIBLE COPY HAS A GLOSS THAT IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS CAN BE, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE PERFECT LAMINATE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND . NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE CANNOT BE A FLATTER BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST PERFECT. PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED LAMINATE AND NO WEAR TO ANY OF THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS ANOTHER AREA ON THE SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY HAS ALL OF THE TYPEFACE RUBBED BADLY, BUT AGAIN THIS COPY IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION FULLY SHARP AND LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH JUSR A COUPLE OF MINUSCU;E THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT. THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT ALL ACROSS THE SLEEVE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A TRULY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE DISRAELI GEARS SLEEVE
I GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
