FIRST PRESS  - MGM / POLYDOR

SUPERB MINT MINUS AUDIO

NEAR MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE



 

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITON. 

THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

 THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLES

 

THE VINYL

BOTH DISCS IN DAYLIGHT LOOK FLAWLESS. GLOSSY AND MARK FREE

WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE ONE DULL MARK ON SIDE FOUR


 

THE TEST PLAY

I HAVE RECORDED SIDES ONE AND FOUR AS THERE IS A SMALL DULL MARK ON SIDE FOUR AND I WANTED TO CHECK IT. THERE ARE ABOUT HALF A DOZEN LITTLE ROTATIONAL LOW LEVEL NOISE DURING ' TAKE THESE CHAINS' WHERE THIS LITTLE MARK IS

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THE LP'S PLAY TO A TREMENDOUS QUALITY

ANY LP WITH 10 TRACKS PER SIDE IS LIKELY TO HAVE SOME ISSUES DUE TO THE TRACKS BEING SO COMPACTED. THIS HOWEVER HAS ALMOST NONE WHATSOEVER, JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I ONLY HEAR A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC TICS ON THE TWO SIDES

I WOULD GRADE THIS AUDIO AS NEAR MINT

SO TAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF


 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST FLAT AND CLEAN.

A TINY SPECK OF FOXING ON THE WHITE AREAS OF THE PICTURE IN THE CENTRE

 THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE, AND JUST TWO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE EDGE. 

TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES ARE MAGNIFICENT. FULLY COLOURED AND  ONLY THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR BUT HAVE ALSO HAVE A FEW TINY SPECKS OF RUB

THE SPINE IS NEAR PERFECT. ONE SMALL SCUFF ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE IN THE MIDDLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EVERYWAY PERFECT. NO RUB AND NO CREASE LINES

THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH  RAZOR SHARP, AND AGAIN THIS JUST SHOWS THAT THE RECORDS WERE NOT REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE  

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A 100% PRISTINE INNER PAIR OF SURFACES.

THE TWO  INNER SLEEVES ARE IN UNPLIT CONDITION. 

THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT

 

 

 

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