THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR RICH AND VIBRANT, AND TOTALLY UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FINALLY THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AND I HAVE HAD A MAGNIFYING GLASS OUT FOR IN DEPTH INSPECTION
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER A BANK OF SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE. NO WISPY HAIRLINES, MARKS OR HANDLING EVIDENCE
A PERFECTLY MINT ALBUM
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LP IN SUCH AMAZING CONDITION
PLAYING THE RECORD
IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED TO GET A HIGH GRADE COPY OF THIS ALBUM YOU WILL KNOW EXACTLY HOW HARD IT IS. THE TRACK MOONCHILD IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST FOR IDENTIFYING CRACKLE AND POPS AS THE VAST MAJORITY OF IT IS SILENT OR NEAR SILENT. THIS COPY IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD
THIS ICONIC LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND MY VERY CAREFUL AND LIGHTLY TRACKED TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE CLARITY OF THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT RUN IN AND LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS WHATSOEVER
THERSE ARE SO MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS LP THAT THIS IS QUITE INCREIBLE
A STUNNING FIRST PRESS CRIMSON KING DEBUT, AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS MINT
TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
THE FIRST ISSUE E.J DAY SLEEVE IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.
PRISTINE UNRUBBED COLOURS THAT SHOW NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE . ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THE TOP EDGES ONLY HAVE A FEW WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACES AND A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES JUST A LITTLE RUB TO THE REAR RIGHT CORNER AND A LITTLE WHITE BY THE LEFT CORNER ON THE REAR EDGE
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING . PRISTINE TEXT AND JUST A DOT OF RUB ON THE ENDS A A TINY FLECK OF UNDERCARD ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS UNCREASED, IT IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT, IN FACT EVEN BETTER AS THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE THREE EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE THERE AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.
THE CORRECT POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS HAD AN ATTACHMENT BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE TRACK LIST AND TIMINGS ARE ON A GLUED PAPER SQUARE
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
I'LL JUST FINSH BY SAYING THAT IN MY OPINION YOU COULD NEVER GET A BETTER AND MORE PRISTINE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
