 SUPERB NEAR MINT SLEEVE

UK 1ST PRESS A1 / B-2

THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE. A TRULY PRISTINE EXAMPLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THE ONLY SLIGHT BLEMISH COMES AT THE END OF TRACK TWO, SIDE ONE WHERE THERE IS A LITTLE SINGLE SPOT ROTATIONAL EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE FOR 5-6 ROTATIONS. THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THE VINYL SO MUST BE IN THE PRESSING

D NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY THROUGH JUST ONE TINY STATIC TIC

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAY THROUGH AS MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE ALL THE WAY ACROSS WITH JUST A CIRCLE IN THE TOP CORNER WHERE THE ' SPECIAL PRICE ' STICKER ONCE SAT. ON THE OPENING EDGE THERE IS A VERY TINY BIT OF FOXING

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINES .  NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES EITHER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM  EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. NO RUBBING EVEN AT THE CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS MINT. TOTALLY FLAT AND PURE WHITE. PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND UNBLEMISHED TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL FOXING MOTTLES ALONG OPENING EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PERFECT PAIR OF PANELS. 

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND HELPS TO DEPICT WHY THE LP HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED

DEPSPITE THE LIGHT FOXING IN PATCHES I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
