THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE  PICTURE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS NO SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE 

 THE TEST PLAY

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

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO TICS OR POPS

THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED UNTEXTURED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

THIS SLEEVE IS IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERBLY CLEAN THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. IT IS QUITE INCREDIBLE TO SEE ONE IN THIS GLORIOUS CONDITION.
UNRUBBED AND ANFADED COLOURS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SLEEVE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND SHOW NO RUBBING. A MICROSCOPIC DING TO THE TOP RIGHT TIP

THERE IS NO RING WEAR EITHER NOR IS THERE ANY SIGN OF RECORD SHAPE 

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

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH SUPERN. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS ONLY SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUB

 IT'S CLEAR IS THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER 

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NOT EVEN A FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR AT ANY POINT ON THIS SPINE. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PRISTINE . NO RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS

THE REAR SURFACE IS PERFECT. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS. THE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVES HAD THE PUBLISHING CREDITS BY TOPOGRAPHIC MUSIC LIMITED. ON LATER ISSUES THIS WAS BLOCKED OUT WITH A BLACK RECTANGLE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT 

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