THE LABELS
FIRST PRESS LABELS ON EARLY MCA LP'S CAME IN THREE TWO TONE COLOURS, AND EACH ONE IS A VALID FIRST PRESS AS THEY WERE PRODUCING ALL THREE AT THE SAME TIME.
THERE IS PINK AND RED, YELLOW AND RED, AND BROWN AND RED.
THIS IS THE PINK AND RED LABEL IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE PINK BAND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
I CANT EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 2-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS ULTRA HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THE SURFACE OF THIS DISC IS EXCELLENT PLUS, AND IT LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE BUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES. AND SOME SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES. CLEARLY AN IMMACULATELY CARED FOR RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS. THE CLARITY IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR, AND IT'S PURE FIRST PRESS.
I JUST CANNOT FAULT THIS AUDIO REPRODUCTION WHATSOEVER. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION AT ALL, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE , NOR ARE THERE ANY CLICKS
I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD AND VINYL NOISE , PERHAPS THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC HERE AND THERE, BUT AMAZINGLY I HEARD NO DUST POPS
THIS VINYL CANNOT BE BETTERED IN ANY WAY IN MY OPINION AND I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO GRADE THIS SUPERB ORIGINAL AUDIO MINT!!!
THE SLEEVE
THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS RARELY FOUND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'WORN OUT' CONDITION. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.THERE ARE ALSO TWO VERSIONS OF THIS SLEEVE ATTRIBUTED TO UK COPIES. ONE IS THE AMERICAN SLEEVE WHICH MANY UK COPIES WERE PLACED INTO AND SOLD HERE IN THE UK, BUT THE RARER SLEEVE IS THE MOORE AND MATTHES UK SLEEVE, WHICH IS THE ONE ON OFFER HERE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL , BECAUSE MOST COPIES WILL BE FLATTENED, AND SQUASHED. THIS COPY HAS A VERY WIDESPINE AND IT IS GREAT CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHES, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT (OF WHICH YOU RARELY SEE)
IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD
