THE VINYL
THE ORIGINAL SHEEN HAS BEEN RETAINED AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES
A STUNNING LOOKING ALBUM
THE LABELS
DEEP RICH INKS THAT FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE WHITE SIDE IS PURE WHITE AND THE BLACK SWIRL SIDE IS UNBLEMISHED
A CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE TEST PLAY
AN ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE 1ST PRESS WHICH PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTE IS LOUD, CLEAN AND CRISP, JUST HOW IT WAS INTENDED TO BE HEARD.
THERE IS NO CRACKLE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS
THE STERO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY SITTING VERY CLOSE TO THE LOUDSPEAKERS WAS A LITTLE OCCASION STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE SILENT PASSAGES, AND 3-4 OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS LP HAS HUNDREDS OF SILENT AREAS THIS PERFORMANCE IS WAY BETTER THEN MOST COPIES
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE.
THE COLOURS ARE STILL NICELY RETAINED ACROSS THE SURFACE, UNLIKE MANY OF THESE SLEEVES THERE IS NO GREYING TO EDGES . IN FACT THE COLOURS RIGHT ACROSS THE SURFACE ARE PERFECT
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE . NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT . FULLY COLOURED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE VERY SIMILAR BUT WITH A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE FRONT SURFACE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE IS NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING . PRISTINE COLOUR WITH ONE PIN PRICK OF RUB AT THE BOTTOM END
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECTLY CLEAN AND UNRUBBED PAIR OF INNER PANELS.
