THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE DEEP RED AND SILVER UNBOXED STEREO LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE 6-8 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS IN FLAWLESS .UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN OPNLY MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE INCREDIBLE MONO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF GROOVEWEAR, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO HEAVY CRACKLES AND CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER.
A REALLY SOLID COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT PLAYS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL
THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A TINY AMOUNT OF BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE STATIC TICS HERE AND THERE
AS YOU WILL HEAR AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS EX++
BUT PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO SCUFFING TO THE LAMINATED SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE NO PEEL OR FLAKE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF LIFT AT EITHER END OF THE SPINE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE JET BLACK MATT COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. JUST THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF RUBBING.
THE CARD ON THE BOTTOM EDGE PROTRUDES SLIGHTLY OVER THE ACTUAL SEALED EDGE
THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ACROSS THE SURFACE .THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
