CURVED AIR - SECOND ALBUM

 MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS PLAYTHROUGH

FIRST PRESS ON THE OLIVE GREEN LABEL

EX+ SLEEVE

THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I SEE JUST ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. 

UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT APART FROM ONE TINY LITTLE HANDLING LINE AT THE END OF SIDE TWO

THE TEST PLAY

THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE JUST SUPERB AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

A FANTASTIC VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

ALL I HEARD WERE ONE OR TWO TINY LITTLE SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

THE LITTLE HANDLING LINE CAUSES NO MORE THAN A C OUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE TICS AS THE STYLUS PASSES OVER 

TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF JUST HOW SUPERB IT IS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS  MINT MINUS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN GREAT CONDITION. WHILST THIS ONE IS NOT PERFECT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIPS OR TEARS TO ANY OF THE DIE CUT AREAS LIKE SO MANY DO

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE DIE CUT MULTI PAGE GATEFOLD

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THERE IS A FOLD LINE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

OTHER THAN THIS THE DIE CUT HOLE IS PRISTINE, AND THERE IS SOME LIGHT TRACES OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES, PLUS ONE DULL LUNE ON THE TOP EDGE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER AND ONE ON THE RIGHT EDGE

THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO TYPEFACE ON THIS AND THE ONLY DOT OF RUB IS SEEN ON THE BOTTOM TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE SHOWS VERY MILD RING RUB MAINLY AT THE TOP LEFT QUADRANT. AGAIN SOME HANDLING TO THE EDGES
OPENING EACH OF THE INNER PAGES REVEALS THAT THE DIE CUT HOLES ARE ONCE AGAIN IN PERFECT CONDITION

THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+

 

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
