THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND BLACK EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE NONE TO BE SEEN
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER THE MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THIS LP STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION. NO DISTORTION AT ALL
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE, NO STATIC, NO TICS OR POPS AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF THE DELICATE SILVER COLOUR BEING WORN AND THEREFORE MANY COPIES THAT YOU WILL SEE LOOK SHABBY. THIS COPY HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER COVER FROM NEW AND HAS PROTECTED THE VERY DELICATE SILVER FOIL BASE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE BEAUTIFUL SILVER FOIL APPEARANCE IS JUST NEAR PERFECT
SO THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND 100% FREE FROM ANY MARKS.
THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD IMPRESSION IF ANGLED INTO A STRONG LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNERS REAMAIN UNRUBBED WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAVING THE TINIEST LITTLE DING
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100%% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THE SILVER RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP . EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS AGAIN 100% INTACT EVEN DOWN TO THE TIP ENDS, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT. THREE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE AND TWO ON THE TOP EDGE. INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, RECORD SHAPE OR IMPRESSION
THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. 1ST ISSUE INNERS HAVE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH.
NO SEAM SPLITS, NO MARKS OR ANY CREASE LINES
TOTALLY WHITE WITH NO HANDLING MARKS WHATSOEVER. NO CREASE MARKS AND AMAZINGLY NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TOP OPENING NOTCH ALONG THE TOP
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS EASILY DAMAGED AND WORN SLEEVE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
