STEELEYE SPAN - HARK THE VILLAGE WAIT
IN ONE PLAY MINT / NEAR MINT CONDITION
BEAUTIFUL EX++ SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH INSERT SHEET
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. UNMARKED DEEP COLOUR, NO DISCOLOURING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING HELO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND AT THE START OF SIDE TWO FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS AND 2-3 TINY TICS
NO TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT / NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED DELGA PRESS 1ST ISSUE MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW TINY FLECKS OF WHITE SHOWING BUT AGAIN IS MOSTLY PERFECTLY COLOURED WITH A LITTLE RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE FLAT WITH ONE LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
