THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE ARE TWO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND ALMOST THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.
JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER SPOTLIGHTS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
ALL I HEARD WAS SOME OCCASIONAL LOPW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILOENT PASSAGES
THE RECORD PLAYS TOP A NEAR MINT GRADE
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS AND A COUPLE OF RIN PRICKS OF RUB ELSEWHERE
THE BOTTOM EDGES ALSO HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS, PLUS A SMALL SCUFF TO THE REAR SURFACE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THERE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ON THE FRONT EDGE, AND A LITTLE FEATHERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD RVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
