THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .
THERE ARE 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS IMMACULATE IN DAYLIGHT. TOTALLY MARK FREE
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO ALL I SEE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY
THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE 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.
THE EARLY MONO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY 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 HAS NONE WHATSOEVER
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
NO STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE AND THE ONLY THING I HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH WERE THREE MINUSCULE AND BARELY AUDIBLE TINY LITTLE STAIC TICS
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE , NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS
SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. IT HAS BEEN HOUSED FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS HAS STOPPED ANY CREASING TO THE SURFACE .
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, FOLDS OR BENDS
THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUSCULE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, ONE ON THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THREE SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE. NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ANYWHERE
NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. THE LAMINATE RUNS UNBLEMISHED FROM CORNER TO CORNER
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END SHPWS A DOT OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, JUST A MINUSCULE TRACE OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND NOT EVEN ANY SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ANGLE IT INTO A STRONG LIGHT
AN EXTREMELY WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING / AGEING TO THE OPENING EDGE,
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND A CLEANER AND BETTER EXAMPLE
THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS A COUPLE OF CORNER FOLD LINES AND A TINY TRACE OF AGEING
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
