THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE SILVER / BLUE LABELS ARE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 53 YEAR OLD ALBUM

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS NO SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

 

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I STILL CAN'T SEE ANY BLEMISHES. IT LOOKS SPECTACULAR

THE TEST PLAY

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION

I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND THIS RECORDING PRODUCES AND ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN A FEW OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN.

THE GOLD STEREO FOIL STICKER SITS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE LAMINATE IS STILL VERY GLOSSY

 THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE TIPS

NO RING WEAR JUST SOME RECORD IMPRESSION

THERE ARE SEVEN PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SMALL SPLIT AT THE RIGHT CORNER, BUT OTHERWISE PERFECT

THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS FULLY LAMINATE WITH A DOT OF RUB ON EACH CORNER TIP

THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF DIMPLES WHERE A PRESSURE LINE FROM THE FRONT SITS. THE TEXT ID PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING ON THE FRONT SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS. THE WHITENESS IS ONLY MARRED BY A LITTLE HANDLING TO THE EDGES

THE ORIGINAL EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN NICE CONDITION. NO SEAM SPLITS

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE  EX++

 

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