THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE WHITE AREAS ARE STILL PURE WHITE. NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE VISIBLE SPIDER LINE 

 

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES


THE TEST PLAY


AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. 

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1974 WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.

THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES AND THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT ISLAND PRESSES USUALLY HAVE INHERENT VINYL NOISE. THIS IS AS GOOD AS ANY I HAVE EVER HEARD, AND HAS NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.  I HEARD JUST A FEW BARELY AUDIBLE SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS

I CAN'T SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS OR TICS EITHER

 THIS AUDIO  GRADES MINT MINUS

TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT THAT WAY!

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN superb CONDITION
BY ROBOR

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY PRISTINE HAVING A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. 

IT IS IMMACULATE WITHOUT ANY BLEMISHES. NO PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT AT ANY POINT AND INCREDIBLY NO CREASES, CREASE LINES FOLDS OR BENDS

 THERE ARE TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

 NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE. FOUR SQUARE AND SHARP CORNERS

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE AGAIN 100% LAMINATED AND HAVE NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS JPERFECT. NO LAMINATE LOSS AND NO SQUASHING, AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE 100% UNRUBBED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE  JUST ONE TINY SPINE PRESSURE LINE

THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND SPLIT FREE. SOME EDGE PRESSURE LINES

THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
