THE RECORD
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL BLACK AND SILVER LABELS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION.
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 LINESTHE 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 GROOVESNO TICS OR POPS
IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF RUBBER SOUL THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE THERE ARE NINE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.SIX 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 SQUARETHE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ON BOTH SURFACES, UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND WHICH OFTEN LOSES THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND OR RECORD SHAPE
THE WHITE NON LAMINATED SURFACE SHOWS IS IN SUPERB CONDITIONTHE FLIPBACKS ARE ALSO PRISTINE
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
