- SIDE 4 HAS ' TRACK 5 IS TRAIN IN VAIN' ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX
THIS RATHER UNUSUAL ETCHING IN THE DEAD WAX IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LABEL OMITS TRACK 5, AND ONLY HAS THE FIRST 4 TRACKS LISTED
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE FIRST PRESS WHITE CBS LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND IMPORTANTLY 'VERY WHITE' AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IN MINT UNRUBBED CONDITION
THERE IS ONLY ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL SET IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RETAINED, AND IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT ONE MARK TO BE SEEN, IT'S ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS A TRULY MINT SET
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYBACK, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAN WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO STATIC AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT, AND I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH.
CLEARLY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR ALL BUT ONE CAREFUL TRIP ROUND THE TURNTABLE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!
I DOUBT WHETHER THERE IS A BETTER COPY OUT THERE, BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SHOREWOOD SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH OFTEN HAS COLOUR LOSS, IS JUST SUPERB. RICH AND VIBRANT. UNRUBBED AND UNFADED. THERE IS A TINY STICKER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER WITH A NUMBER IN IT
ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE INTACT AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ANY BENDS OR DINGS
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE ORIGINAL DOUBLE ALBUM STICKER IS PERFECTLY ADHERED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE.
FULLY COLOURED WITH TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS JUST FANTASTIC! IT IS PERFECTLY SQUARE, HAS NO RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, NO RUBBING AT ALL
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP'S HAVE NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL PERFECTLY WHITE WITH THE BAREST SHADOW OF HANDLING O0N THE OPENING EDGE
THE TWO PRINTED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, AND ARE 100% UNSPLIT, UNCREASED AND UNMARKED
