    SUPERB EX+ AUDIO

    NEAR MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE



     

    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THEREARE NO SPIDER LINES VISIBLE

    THE VINYL

    THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

    EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES


    THE TEST PLAY

    THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

    THIS DISC PLAYS CLEANLY THROUGHOUT

    NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

    THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE ONE, AND THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE TWP HAVE A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE BEHIND THE MUSIC

     THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND A FEW RANDOM MINUSCULE LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE TICS

    90% OF THIS ALBUM PLAYS NEAR MINT

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO EX+

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

     

    THE SLEEVE

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE COLOURED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.

    NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

    THERE ARE JUST TWO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THE TOP EDGES HAVE PERFECT COLOUR  AND JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP ENDS
    THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREONT AND SOME LIGHT RUB TO SMALL AREAS OF BOTH SURFACES, AND SOME TO THE CORNERS

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND HAS PERFECT TEXT. SOME RUB TO THE BOTTOM END

    THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP AND HAS NO FEATHERING

    THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT

    THE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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