THE RECORD
THE LABELS
CBS BLUE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.
THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 56 YEAR OLD ALBUM
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 6-7 SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS PREISTINE, PERHAPS A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
I HEARD A FEW RANDOM TINY SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC NEAR MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS LIGHT SHELF RUB
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH JUST A TINY DENT ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE AT THE BOTTOM.
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND ONLY THE BOTTOM END HAS A DOT OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE SHARP . JUST A LITTLE FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE FRAGILE WHITE CARD SURFACE WHICH USUALLY WEARS BADLY AND STAINS EASILY, THIS ONE HAS A LITTLE RUBBING UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND LITTLE HANDLING TO THE WHITE EDGES
THE CBS ADVERTISING INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASING JUST EDGE AGEING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
