THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ,THERE ARE SOME VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT HANDLING LINES VISIBLE
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE CLARITY OF SOUND REALLY IS OUTSTANDING.
THERE ARE A FEW TINY LITTLE RANDOM DUST TICS / POPS DURING THE PLAY
AND LITTLE LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN PLACES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO EX+
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE BY HOWARDS PRINTERS
THIS IS A VERY HEAVY SLEEVE MADE FROM EXTREMELY THICK CARD
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF GREYING AROUND THE EDGES
OTHER THAN THIS THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
ONE THIN CREASE LINE UNDER THE TOP EDGE, AND THE LEFT CORNER TIPS HAVE A TINY DING
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE

THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MORE THAN THE TOP
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHED. PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND THE COLOURS ONLY HAVE A TINY BIT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
