THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECT

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE AND THERE IS A SHARD OF RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS MINT

THE TEST PLAY

THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS

VINYL NOISE IS NO EXISTANT. SILENT LINKING GROOVES

A VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUNDING 1ST PRESS OF THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM

NO TICS OR POPS 

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT 

BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
