THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITEBAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON THE SURFACE, AND EVEN WHEN PUT UP TO SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES.AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
PLAYING THE RECORD
PLEASE JUST TAKE A LISTEN TO THE QUALITY OF THIS VINYL AS IT WILL SAY FAR MORE THAN I CAN PUT INTO WORDS. IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE TO THINK THAT AN ALBUM THAT WAS SO POPULAR AS THIS COULD BE FOUND IN A CONDITION THAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS MINT MINUS
FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS PLACED ONTO THE DISC UNTIL THE FINAL FADEOUT, THIS VINYL PERFORMS ALMOST LIKE A BRAND NEW 1969 DISC. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AT ALL, ANYWHERE.
CRISP CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION AND EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NO CLICKS OR POPS JUST THE VERY ODD SPECK BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A COUPLE OF TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT STATIC TICS
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS INCREDIBLE DISC GRADES MINT MINUS, BUT PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ALMOST BLEMISH FREE!! IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND HAS NO CREASES.
THE POWDERY BROWN SURFACE THAT USUALLY WEARS AND RUBS BADLY ON THIS SLEEVEHAS A TINY BIT OF GREYING AROUNF THE EDGES AND THIS IS VERY LIGHT. THERE ARE SOME SPORADIC RUB PATCHES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND FEWER STILL ON THE TOP EDGE
ALSO THE WHITE AREA IS ALWAYS FOUND WITH SEVERE GRUBBINESS AND DIRT, WITH THIS ONE HAVING JUST THE MILDEST TRACE OF HANDLING
THERE IS A VERY THIN SLIVER OF AGEING TO THE SPINE EDGE
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND JUST ONE SMALL ONE ON THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE SOME RUB
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SPORADIC RUB ALONG THE FOUR SURFACES AND A LITTLE ON THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE ON THIS SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND BATTERED, RUBBED, SQUASHED, AND WORN OUT, BUT ON THIS SLEEVE YOU HAVE A SPINE THAT IS FIRSTLY FLAT. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL LEGIBLE.
THE RUBBING OCCURS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE WHERE THE LOWER HALF SHOWS SOME AS WELL AS THE TOP TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP,WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAD SOME GREYING TO THE EDGES AND A LITTLE RING WEAR UNDER THE TOP EDGE
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 ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, WITH THE FLIPBACKS AND POLY LINED INTERIOR.
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX
