THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY EITHER SIDE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE
THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS FIRST PRESS ALBUM PERFORMS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WHEN HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. IT IS JUST SUPERB. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO HEAVY CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ATHE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AS MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SEMI GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. NONE OF THE COLOURS HAVE RUBBED AND THEY ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT. ALSO TOTALLY UNFADED
IT IS HERE THAT BOTH OF THE HYPE STICKERS SIT. QUITE RARE TO FIND BOTH OF THEM ON THE SLEEVE
THERE IARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS. THE BOPTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS IN MINT CONDITION. AGAIN ITS AMAZING THAT THE SURFACE HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND HERE ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN IN STUNNING RUB FREE CONDITION. NO LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE PERIMETER EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL PAPER LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND IN MINT CONDITION, FLAT, UNCREASED, AND UNSPLIT, WITH A PRISTINE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE
THE FULL SET OF EIGHT POSTCARDS ARE ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. STILL ALL ATTACHED AND UNMARKED
THE 2 PAGE MERCHANDISE FLYER IS LIKEWISE IN MINT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
