    THE RECORD 

     

    THE LABELS

    THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .

    THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

    THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

    THE VINYL

    THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 50 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
    EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE 
     

    THE TEST PLAY

     

    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

    THE SILENT BITS ARE  SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

    THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

    THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

    THE ALBUM PLAYS TO PERFECTION,  NO BACKGROUND AND SILENT LINKING GROOVES

     I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
     

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT IT IS THAT GOOD

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE .

    THIS WAS EXPORTED FROM THE USA TO THE UK BACK IN THE DAY . AS SUCH THERE IS ONE EXPORT HOLE PUNCH IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE  SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT

    NO RUBBING OF THE COLOURS, OTHER THAN VERY LIGHT GREYING AROUND THE EDGES

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

    NO RING WEAR 

    THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A SMALL BIT OF RUB

    THE TOP EDGES HAVE A FEW LIGHT PATCHES OF RUB AND A LITTLE ON THE RIGHT CORNERS

    THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SLIGHTLY MORE

    THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. ALMOST NO WEAR AND THE COLOURS ARE STILL BRIGHT AND MATCH THE OTHER SURFACES. NO FADE. A DOT OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS A

    THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. THE SEALED EDGE ON THE FRONT GATEFOLD HAS  A  BIT OF RUB ON THE ENDS

    THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO SUPERB INNER PANELS 

    THE BROWN INNER SLEEVEHAS A TINY SEAM SPLIT ON ONE SIDE

    A REAL TREAT TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+

     

     

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