THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A TINY WISPY HAIRLINE ON SIDE TWO
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 TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
NO CRACKLE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO STATIC AND NO TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL DELICATE PASTEL COLOURS WHICH ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.EVEN THE VULNERABLE EDGE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. ALL I SEE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT IS A TINY SPECK OF GREYING IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE THINNEST SLIVER OF RUB UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE , AND INCREDIBLY NOT EVEN ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR AMAZINGLY EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS THIN CARDED COVER
THE TOP EDGES ARE PRISTINE. NO COLOUR LOSS AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM REAR EDGE HAS A FEW WHITE SPECKS ON THE RIGHT HALF
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
JUST AN IMMACULATE SLEEVE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE
THE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, HAS THE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR SPLITS AT ALL.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
