Description
THE MOODY BLUES - A QUESTION OF BALANCE
MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO
VERY FIRST PRESS WITH 1W/1W MATRIX NUMBERS
STUNNING MINT MINUS SLEEVE
HEAVY TEXTURED 2 PAGE INSERT
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND MAUVE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE WHITENESS OF THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST PERFECT. NO MARKS OR STAINS, OR SIGNS OF HANDLING
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING PRISTINE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL. HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH TO IT, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE DISC IN DAYLIGHT
EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
A BEAUTIFUL RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND AS I MENTIONED AT THE VERY TOP OF THE LISTING, THE RECORDING IS VERY LOUDLY PRODUCED, AND THE QUALITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS REALLY MAGNIFICENT,
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER EITHER
THERE IS NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND EITHER , AND EVEN THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT TINY DUST POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE ROBERT STACE ISSUE SLEEVE WITHOUT THE TUCK IN FLAP
THE FRONT SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT. NO LOSS OF THE COLOUR ON THIS UNLAMINATED SURFACE, JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE,WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE BOTTOM EDGE IF YOU WANT THE PICTURE THE RIGHT WAY UP. THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ALONG EACH OF THE SIDE EDGES, AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE.
DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS ALL OVER THE SURFACE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TWO SIDE EDGES (TOP AND BOTTOM ON MOST SLEEVES) ARE IN IMMACULATE RUB FREE CONDITION
THE BOTTOM EDGE WHICH WOULD BE THE SPINE ON A NORMALLY SITED SLEEVE IS FLAT, UNSQUASHED WITH PERFECT COLOUR AND TYPEFACE. NO RUBBING AT THE ENDS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND UNRUBBED, RICH AND VIBRANT COLOUR . AGAIN NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TRULY PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND PERFECTLY FLAT.
THE POSTER INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION AND WAS HOUSED INSIDE THE FRONT SIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. IT MAY HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTICED AND REMOVED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER, BECAUSE IT IS JUST MINT!!!! IT IS ALSO THE HEAVY TEXTURED PAPER USED ONLY ON THE FIRST ISSUES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
