THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION.
THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AS IS THE AREA SURROUNDING THE FONTANA LOGO.
FINALLY THERE ARE A CLUSTER OF 8-10 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 46 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIYING LED HALO I CAN SEE NUMEROUS FINE HANDLING LINES AND SOME EMBEDDED DULL STREAK LINES -VISUALLY VG+
THE TEST PLAY
A REALLY CLEAN AND CRISP MONO SOUND THAT NEEDS PLAYING LOUDLY
CLEARLY WHAT PLAY THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A TOP SYSTEM WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS TRACKED AND WEIGHTED CORRECTLY, AND UNWORN BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAY.
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AND SOME RANDOM BARELY D TICS HERE AND THERE, THREE ROTATIONS CLICKS TOWARDS THE END OPF TRACK 2, SIDE 2
HOWEVER IT'S THE SUPERB MONO REPRODUCTION THAT COMES BLASTING THROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EX
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM AND JUDGE ITS QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
VERY NICE ORIGINAL 1966 LAMINATED FRONT, PASTE OVER REAR SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR LARGE AND DEEP CREASE LINES, AND THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW
THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.
THERE ARE THREE NEAR INVISIBLE LITTLE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TWO ON THE TOP EDGE AND THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. ALSO NOT ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE SPINE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR TO THE SLEEVE, OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE FOR THAT MATTER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OTHER THAN A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO LAMINATE LOSS, NO SQUASHING, NO RUBBING TO THE TIP ENDS, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE AMERICAN STYLE PASTEOVER, AND THIS HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME WELL. STILL FAIRLY WHITE WITH JUST VERY LIGHT HANDLING AND AGEING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED
THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS WRITTEN THEIR NAME IN THE TOP RIOGHT CORNER
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, LIGHTLY CREASED, AND ALSO LIGHTLY AGED
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
