THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED AND FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS JUST ONE ANGEL HAIR HANDLING LINE VISIBLE



THE TEST PLAY


THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT , BOTH LOUD AND CRISP, IT PERFORMS WITHOUT A JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

THERE IS NO HEAVY OR LOUD BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS.

 A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC SPECKS IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES BUT THIS IS SO MINOR IT'S HARDLY WORTH A MENTION

THIS ALBUM HAS SERIOUS HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS AT THE MOST EVER!!

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

 

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINTED UNCREDITED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND SHOWS NO BENDS OR FOLDS OR DINGS

THE DARK COLOUR IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, NOT EVEN ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ONLY HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF RUB

THE MIDDLE IMAGE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE MORE RUB THAN THE TOP ON THE RIGHT CORNERS

THE SPINE IS PERFECT. FLAT, UNMARKED WITH PRISTINE TYPEFACE. NO RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN AMAZING CONDITION, VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO BEAUTIFUL INNER PANELS, 

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT

GARRY
