THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. I DONT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND QUITE PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY TICS OR DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED E.J.DAY HALF GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN COLLECTABLE CONDITION, BUT HERE IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY PRESERVED SINCE 1970
SUPERB CONDITION ALL ACROSS THE COVER AND THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE
THE HALF GATEFOLD FLAP IS PRISTINE
THERE IS JUST A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP ON THE MAIN BODY. THE OTHER THREE ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. JUST ONE ON THE RIGHT SPINE EDGE
NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE COLOUR ON BOTH SURFACES WITH A DOT OF RUB TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS WIDE AND FLAT ONE MINUSCULE BROWN DOT, BUT OTHERWISE MINT
OPENING THE FRONT FLAP REVEALS THE REST OF THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION, JUST SLIGHTLY WAVY
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. SOME EDGE AGEING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
THE HYPE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
