      THE RECORD

       

      THE LABELS

      ORIGINAL BLACK AND SILVER LABELS 

      A SLIGHT ERROR AT THE PRESSING PLANT SAW THIS SET PLACED SLIGHTLY OFF CENTRE. THIS DESN'T AFFECT THE PLAY IN ANWAY, BUT THE LABELS ARE NOT QUITE CENTRAL
      THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING DEMOTES THIS AS A 1971 PRESSING THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND SILVER LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES 

      THE VINYL

      THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

      UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT

      THE TEST PLAY

      THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.

       MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALBUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS!!!

      GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

      THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

      NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. AND NO VINYL NOISE SILENT LINKING GROOVES

      NO TICS OR POPS

      IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF A COLLECTION OF BEATLES OLDIES THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY

      I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT 

       

       

       

      THE SLEEVE

      LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR

      THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.  NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

      THERE ARE FIVE TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE. 
      THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

      THE TOP EDGE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

      THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

      THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  PRISTINE CONDITION.  THE SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

      THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP

      THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN SUPER CONDITION , AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND OR RECORD SHAPE
      THE WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE SHOWS A TINY BROWN MARK IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND A LITTLE ON THE BOTOTM EDGE AGAIN IN THE LEFT CORNER. SOME VERY MILD EDGE HANDLING

      THE ORIGINAL OWNER REPLACED THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WITH A PROTECTIVE POLY LINED INNER

      I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
