THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM ISLAND LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE WHICH IS BARELY VISIBLE
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED AND FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF DULL MARKS /LINES AND A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT , BOTH LOUD AND CRISP, IT PERFORMS WITHOUT A JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO HEAVY OR LOUD BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS.
NO TICS OR POPS
JUST A LITTLE EXTREMELY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS, BARELY AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THIS ALBUM HAS SERIOUS HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS AT THE MOST EVER!!
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL EX++
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GAEFOLD BY THE E.J.DAY CO
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND SHOWS NO BENDS OR FOLDS OR DINGS
THE VERY PALE COLOUR SHOWS ONLY A LITTLE VERY MILD HANDLING TO THE EDGES
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ONLY HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB
THE PHOTO IN THE CENTRE IS PERFECTLY COLOURED
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL PAPER SCUFFS. ONE BY THE SPINE AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN TOP CONDITION
THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING, VERY LIGHT COLOUR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN AMAZING CONDITION, VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO BEAUTIFULL INNER PANELS. THE LEFT SIDE HAS A PERFECT POCKET THAT HOLD THE MINT BOOKLET
