THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK ISLAND LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR AND WHITE LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND IT SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THE RECORD LOOKS PERFECT. ONE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING FINE HAIRLINE IS ALL I SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. NO VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC, WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
NO CLICKS AND I AM CERTAIN I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY POPS EITHER
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB TEXTURED E.J.DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND NO RUB TO THE DELICATE TEXTURED SURFACE
DEEP RICH INKS ACROSS THE SLEEVE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE THE LIGHTEST SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE TIPS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE COLOURED IN THE MIDDLE AND EDGES, AND ONLY THE CORNER TIPS SHOW A LITTLE RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DOTD OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO TEXTURED AND HAS REMAINED IN AN TOP CONDITION. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE DELICATE SURFACE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
