THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO HAIRLINES, JUST A FEW BARELY VISIBLE WISPS.
I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS VINYL PERFORMS. NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL. BOTH RUN IN, RUN OUT GROOVES ARE SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES, AND WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS IT IS TOTALLY DISTORTION FREE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, GIVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD SOUND TO THE CUT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, AND THAT'S BEING REALLY PICKY, BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMING COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO PLAY
I HAVE TO GIVE THIS VINYL A NR MINT GRADE
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NOT ONE THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE LIKE SO MANY SLEEVES OF THIS TYPE HAVE
THERE ARE 5 SMALL LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE AND THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A REALLY TINY DING
THERE ARE NO LINES AT ALL ON EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE LAMINATE RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. GLEAMING BLACK LAMINATE THAT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO DAMAGE OR WEAR TO THE LAMINATE WHICH AGAIN RUNS COMPLETE FROM TIP TO TIP. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS. CLEARLY THE VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE AND OFTEN WORN BLACK SHADES TOTALLY UNRUBBED. IN FACT THE ONLY TINY BLEMISH IS A SMALL CREASE LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP, AND A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. IT IS 100% THE CORRECT INNER HAVING 06-70 (JUNE 1970) IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!!!
Sensible start and no reserve for this very RARE vinyl
