THE LABELS
THE TRI COLOUR LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO WRITING OR MARKS AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE RECORD
SUPERB GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW
A PRISTINE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUND CLICKS OR POPS
CLEAN AND CLEAR THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH NO MORE THAN A SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DUST POPS
I GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
WITH EMBOSSED LETTERING
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A LITTLE STICKER RESIDUE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT AND NOT FADED
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE FAIRLY SQUARE WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SOME FLECKS OF WHITE UNDERCARD VISIBLE. SO VERY LIGHT RUB, PLUS A LITTLE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT. PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND ONLY A FEW TINY WHITE SPECKS ON THE LEADING EDGES AND TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT, JUST A VERY SMALL PATCH OF RING WEAR AT THE BOTTOM
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE REPRISE INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS JUST A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
