A&M KHAKI LABEL UK 1ST PRESS

INCREDIBLE  MINT MINUS AUDIO ALL THE WAY THROUGH
this album was unplayed until today

OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT SLEEVE

FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE

 FROM A BATCH OF EX SHOP STOCK ALBUMS

THE LABELS

THE KHAKI LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. 

THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UN-RUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE NO SPIDER LINES AGAINST THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL STILL ATTCHED TO THE HOLE ON SIDE ONE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TOA MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS SOME VERY FEINNT DULL STREAKS EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE SURFACE MARKS

THE TEST PLAY

THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS STEREO SOUND IN EVERY WAY.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS OR SMALL ONES FOR THAT MATTER

THE A&M VINYL WAS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING EMBEDDED NOISE AND THIS ONE HAS JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF OCCASIONAL STATIC LIKE STUFF IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

NO TICS OR POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  MINT MINUS 

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MACNEILL FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS.THE LAMINATE HIGH HIGHLY GLOSSY ANDONLY HAS THE LIGHTEST SLIVER OF LIFT DOWN THE SPINE. NO PEEL OR FLAKE

NO RING WEAR JUST A VERY LIGHT OUTLINE  OF  RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, THERE ARE TWO TINY  PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. AND ZERO THUMB LINES ON THE RIGHT EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO TIP WITHOUT ANY ROUGHNESS. THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED. IT HAS THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS FOR THEIS SLEEVE. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE SURFACE IS SMOOTH AND UNDAMAGED. NO RUB TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND ADDS FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE UN-PLAYED FOR MANY YEARS

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. AGAIN THAT SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE SPINE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE, CREASE FREE,AND NO EDGE AGEING. 

I AM REALLY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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