THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE STILL PURE WHITE

CLEAN AND RUB FREE WITH PERFECT PURPLE LOGO AND BLACK TEXT

I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

REALLY CLEAN ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC WHICH LOOKS SUPERB

  IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

THE TEST PLAY

THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A STUNNING CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO THAT IS LOUD AND POWERFUL 

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL, AND THIS MEANS NO GROOVE WEAR.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE SILENT PASSAGES / LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS IS A SUPREME EXAMPLE OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER RARITY

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. 

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCRATCH LINES WHICH HAVE NOT DAMAGED THE COLOUR THOUGH

NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER. 

THE COLOURS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED, AND ALSO VERY RICH AND BRIGHT.

THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE TIPS

THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST OUTLINE OF RECORD IMPRESSION

THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP EDGE HAS  CLEAN SILVER RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS PATCHY SHELF WEAR

THE SPINE IS A LITTLE GRUBBY FROM AGE. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LIGHT CREASE LINE OVER THE TOP CORNERS. SOME LIGHT RECORD SHAPE

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, AND UNCREASED

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+
