SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO
A-1 / B-1 FIRST PRESS
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND ONLY SHOWS 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO ALL I SEE ARE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES THERE IS THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE WITH PRINTED INNER SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS .
THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF RUBBING, AN PARTICULARLY NO RING WEAR, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE VERY TINY ONES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED AND THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM END. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE. AGAIN NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE EDGES.
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION WITHOUT ANY CREASES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
