THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1-2 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF TIMES  SINCE 1971. THE LABELS HAVE THE CORRECT 1ST ISSUE ' GRAMOPHONE CO. ' RIM WORDING THAT ON ALL OTHER ISSUES STATES EMI. 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED . IN DAYLIGHT YOU CANNOT FAULT THE DISC AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. PLACING THE LP UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THE DISC STILL LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. JUST ONE TINY MARK ON THE OUTRE RIM OF SIDE TWO

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 LP SOUNDS.

THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ENSURING THAT THE VINYL WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY GRADED STYLUS.

THE DEAD WAX RUN IN AND RUN OUT IS SILENT AS ARE MOST OF THE LINKING GROOVES 

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

A FEW TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE SPLIT SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC CAN BE HEARD IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND PERHAPS A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

NO POPS OR TICS OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY ONES JUST AS SIDE TWO STARTS

I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED WITH THE PLAYTHROUGH OF THIS CLASSIC ELO ALBUM AND

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

YOU CAN TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THE LP AND GRADE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

MAGNIFICENT UNLAMINATED TEXTURED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SPECTACULAR. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST PERFECT. NO RUBBING AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. 

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP SHOWS A DOT OF WHITE, WHILST THE OTHER THREE ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.

THERE ARE NO BENDS  OR CORNER DINGS EITHER.

THERE IS JUST ONE MICROCOPIC PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A MINUSCULE SPLIT ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS VIRTUALLY PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT WITH ONE VERY TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION ON THE TOP EDGE.  THE COLOUR IS PERFECT AS IS THE TYPEFACE. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE FRONT. 

THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECT AND THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PURE WHITE


THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, AND NO SERIOUS CREASES. A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE.WITH JUST A SPECK OF GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES
