THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE FIRST OF THE PRESS
THE SLEEVE
VERY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE SLEEVE IS A NON LAMINATED 6 PANEL OPEN UP POSTER SLEEVE. YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PICTURES THAT THIS SLEEVE MAKES UP ONE LARGE PICTURE. MANY THAT YOU WILL SEE WILL HAVE TERRIBLE RING WEAR, COLOUR LOSS AND MOST OF ALL VERY WEAR JOINTS WHERE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN FOLDED OPEN AND SHUT MANY TIMES, AND NOT ALWAYS IN THE CORRECT SEQUENCE, RESULTING IN STRESS WEAR.
ANYWAY THAT'S NOT THIS SLEEVE, BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER. TAKING THE FRONT SURFACE IT IS RIGHT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SHELF WEAR RIGHT ON THE TWO CORNERS OF THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT HAVING SAID THAT IT IS PRETTY MINIMAL BUT I NEED TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO IT. THERE ARE A FEW VERY SMALL LINES NEAR THE LEFT AND RIGHT EDGES, BUT AGAIN ARE VERY SMALL. NO HEAVY CREASES, AND NO BIG LINES ON THE SURFACE. IT IS FLAT AND CLEAN.
OPENING UP THE SLEEVE THE POSTER LOOKS MAGNIFICENT, WITH HARDLY ANY HANDLING WEAR AT ALL.
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADED EXCELLENT
THE LABELS
MAGNIFICENT UNBLEMISHED LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR . VERY WHITE ON THE WHITE SIDE, AND NO MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. I HAVE LOOKED VERY CLOSELY FOR SPIDER LINES, AS THIS IS THE SECOND TEST OF HOW OFTEN THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED, OR INDEED HOW CAREFULLY IT HAS BEEN HANDLED. I CAN COUNT ABOUT 2 SMALL LINES AND SO I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE LP HAS HAD FEWER THAN 3 PLAYS LIFETIME
THE VINYL
STUNNING RECORD THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS AMAZING. THERE ARE NO FINGER MARKS, NO SCUFFS, AND NO SCRATCHES. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT ANY LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE, THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT, THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND NOISE ANYWHERE . THIS IS A SUPERB AUDIO EXPERIENCE, AND THIS VINYL PLAYS CORRECTLY AT ITS GRADE OF MINT MINUS.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU WILL EVER FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS
LISTENING BETWEEN THE TRACKS FOR ANY NOISE IN THE LINKING GROOVE, I CAN SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING .
THERE MAY BE THE ODD LIGHT BIT OF STATIC, BUT VERY LIGHT, AND VARY SCARE. I CANNOT FAULT THE LP IN ANY WAY, AND IT PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.
THIS WILL GRACE ANYONE'S COLLECTION FOR SURE.
I AM CERTAIN THIS WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
