THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB ALBUM WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLOSS. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS BRILLIANT DISC,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ONE VERY FINE HANDLING LINE ON THE FORST HALF OF THE FINAL TRACK SIDE TWO
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED. THE REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR, AND THE LP PERFORMS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO STATIC EITHER
THE ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD ONLY DURING A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
JUST SOME MINUSCULE ROTATIONAL AND VERY LIGHT TICS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE FINAL TRACK
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS / EX+
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LONG LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FIRST PRESS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE EMBOSSED TYRE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND AND IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION
ONLY VERY SLIGHT MILD RUBBING TO SOME OF THE HIGH POINTS OF THE EMBOSSED SURFACE AT THE EDGES IN THE FORM OF LIGHT GREYING IN SPOTS
TWO VERY TINY PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. TWO ON THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNWORN WITH PRISTINE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FULLY COLOURES WITH PRISTINE TYPEFACE. HAS A FEW VERY SLIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP AND AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME LOVELY CONDTION AS THE FRONT
THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT, UNSPLIT, AND UNDAMAGED CONDITION. THERE IS A LITTL EDGE FOXING
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
I AM CERTAIN THIS LP AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
