 THE RECORD

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS STILL VERY GLOSSY

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLALWLESS

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND A TINY HANDLING LINE ON THE OUTER EDGE OF SIDE B


THE LABELS

THE OWHITE LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION

DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS THAT FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THERE IS A LITTLE HANDLING EVIDENCE TO THE WHITE SURFACE

THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE


THE VINYL


THE TEST PLAY

THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS PERFECT

NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

TRACK FOUR SIDE A HAS SOME VERY LIGHT ROTATIONAL TICS FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS WHERE THERE IS A TINY MARK WHICH I ONLY SAW BY USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS

SIDE B TRACK ONE THERE ARE FIVE BARELY AUDIBLE TICS JUST AS THE RECORD STARTS

THE REST OF THE ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF STATIC AND A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS

TAKE A LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP AND YOU WILL HEAR JUST HOW DELIGHTFUL THIS RARE LP SOUNDS

GRADES EX+, WITHOUT THE TICS WOULD HAVE BEEN NEAR MINT FOR SURE


THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE 

E.J DAY AND CO

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR FOLDS

THE COLIYURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT

THERE IS SIGNS OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES AND A SMA STAIN IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER


THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM

THE OUTER EDGES INCLUDING THE SPINE HAVE SOME SHELF WEAR

 

 

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS THE FRONT



THE SLEEVE  GRADES EX
