THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,
THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY I CAN'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE LP HAS BEEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF EITHER SIDE, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE. A PERFECT RECORD
CLEARLY THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY PLAYED IN THE LAST 40 YEARS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH INCREDIBLY.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS.
SUPERB STEREO WITH A DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND AT ALL AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THIS ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS
THE IMPORT STICKER ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE IS DUE TO THE LP BEING EXPORTED FROM THE UK TO THE USA, WHICH IS WHERE I CAME ACROSS THE GEM
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.
THE LAMINATE HAS LIFTED ALONG THE SPINE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD IMPRESSION
ONE SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE, JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN,. PERFECT LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT, UNWORN AND HAS ALL OF THE TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.
A DOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM TIP END ONLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITHA COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT, WITH THE LAMINATE LIFT ON THE SPINE
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+
