THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CREAM LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE JUST ONE VERY FINE SMALL HAIRLINE ON SIDE TWO
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT ANY PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT THROUGH THE QUITEST PASSAGES AND NO STATIC HEARD ANYWHERE
THE ONLY THING I HEARD DURING THE NETIRE PLAY WERE 3-4 OF THE TINIEST AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE TICS AT THE END OIF TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO WHICH IS WHERE THE ONE LITTLE FINE HAIRLINE SITS
A FANTASTIC VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM
TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF JUST HOW SUPERB IT IS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS MINT MINUS
JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
A MAGNIFICENT UNLAMINATED 'ROBOR' GATEFOLD SLEEVE WHICH IS MINT
DEEP RICH INKS WHICH ARE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE
NO CREASE LINES. NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE COLOURS PRESENT, RIGHT ACROSS BOTH SURFACES WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS SHOWING A TINY SPECK OF RUB
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN THE SAME GLORIOUS CONDITION
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. IT IS STILL THE SAME COLOUR AS THE FRONT AND BACK SO NO FADE. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. MOST COPIES SHOW RING WEAR HERE, BUT NOT THIS ONE IT IS PERFECT IN THAT RESPECT. AGAIN, LIKE THE FRONT THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES WHATSOEVER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ONLY AREA WITH A LITTLE FAULT. MADE OF HEAVY PAPER IT IS CREASE FREE. THERE ARE TWO SMALL SEAM SPLITS ONE ON EACH SIDE IN THE MIDDLE
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
