THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE YELLOW DJM LOGO IS UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER AM AGNIFYING LED HALO THIS ALBUM IS MINT. ALSO WHEN HELD UP TO THE LIGHT YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THAT THIS IS THE RED TRANSLUCENT VINYL PRESS

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.

THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND EITHER AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS HAD, WE COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE NO STATIC. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENRT

NO TICS OR POPS WHATSOEVER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT  FOR THE PLAY

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

 GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

 

HIGHLY POLISHED LAMINATE ON THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER . JUST A TINY DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP

 

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, JUST A LITTLE IMPRESSION UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, PERFECT LAMINATE RUNNING THE FULL LENGTH OF THE SLEEVE UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS ALSO  MINT.  FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE 

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COVER. 

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, JUST A COUPLE OF PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND  SOME LAMINAE LIFT IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND ONE PRESSURE LINE ON THE OPENING EDGE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. THERE IS A SLIVER OF PAPER PULL ON THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE LAMINATE WRAPS ROUND. 

THE BOOKLET IS JUST IMMACULATE

COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS UNSPLIT

THIS IS A REAL RARITY AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

 

 

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