THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABEL IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER. THE WHITE LABEL WITH THE BLUE TEXT IS EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. APART FROM A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL SURFACE HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY HEAVY OR LOUD BACKGROUND CRACKLE .
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES HAVE A TINY SPECKLE OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
JUST ONE TINY TIC IN THE LAST TRACK SIDE ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
GOLD LEAF EMBOSSED, TEXTURED E.J DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH STAPLED BOOKLET
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR, OTHER THAN A TINY SPECK TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP. UNUSUALLY THERE IS NO EDGE GREYING ON THIS EXAMPLE
THE BERGUNDY COLOUR IS SUPERB AND THE GOLD FLAKE IS IMMACULATE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEXT TO THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES HAVE LIGHT SHELF RUB AND THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR
THE SPINE IS VERY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE GOLD LEAF IS IMMACULATE ALL THE WAY ALONG THE SURFACE, AND THE ONLY LITTLE BIT OF RUB OCCURS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. A TINY SLIVER OF RIN G WEAR OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS AND A PERFECTLY STAPLED BOOK. THE BOOK IS IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE INNER SLEEVE 1S 100% UNSPLIT AND CREASE FREE. A PERFECT THUMB NOTCH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
