THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO SPIDER LINES BY IT
THE VINYL
THE DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
IN DAYLIGHT IT looks flawless
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I see some normal embedded dull speckles which is often found in us presses. this is totally non sounding. there are a few wispy hairlines in addition
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES
THIS ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
ALL I HEARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE LP WERE 3-4 TINY LITTLE TICS AND THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC
INCREDIBLE AUDIO THROUGH ALL OF THE TRACKS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
HAS PRINTED IN U.S.A 'A PRODUCT OF ABC-PARAMOUNT RECORDS INC' ON THE BACK
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS.
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND ONLY HAS THE MOST MINUTE DOT OF LAMINATE LIFT NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER ON THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND UNBLEMISHED
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE. FULL LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE WIDE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. PRISTINE LAMINATE, TEXT AND COLOUR
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
THE CORRECT ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
