THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THIS VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF NON SOUNDING ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES

THE TEST PLAY

 

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.

A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRSIPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. 

PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE. 

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND THE SILENT LINKING GROOVES ARE EXACTLY SILENT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO CRACKLE OF HISS WHATSOEVER

AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND PLAYS LIKE NEW, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN, AND SURPRISINGLY NONE OF THE POWDERY COLOURED SURFACE HAS BEEN LOST THROUGH RUBBING AND SHELF WEAR. 

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.

NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND BOTH CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME RUBBING TO BOTH CORNERS

THE SPINE IS SO THIN AND FLIMSY THAT MOST ARE RUBBED SO BADLY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE TYPEFACE. THIS COPY HAS EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE VERY BOTTOM  TIP HAS LIGHT WEAR, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST  ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRAGILE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  EX+

 

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
