THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION.
UNMARKED, THE COLOUR FULLY STRECHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM HAS OUTSTANDING AUDIO
ASTOUNDING CRYSTAL CLEAR GUITAR WORK AND EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, CLEAN AUDIO AND ONLY THE ODD RANDOM SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW RANDOM NEAR SILENT PASSAGES
NOTHING TO MAR THE OUTSTANDING AUDIO PERFORMANCE WHATSOEVER
I AM CERTAIN I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS WHATSOEVER
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
STANDARD U.S HARD CARD SLEEVE WITH PASTE ON REAR
A SINGLE SLEEVE
THE COLOURS ARE MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH AND UNRUBBED ACROSS THE FRONT
NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE BOTTOM

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND SQUASH FREE. UNRUBBED COLOURS APART FROM A SPECK ON THE TIP ENDS. PERFECT TYPEFACE
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP TOP TO BOTTOM
