IN MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT  CONDITION

OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT SLEEVE WITH INNER SLEEVE

 

 

THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BRONZE 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 PROMO STICKER SITS ABOVE THE HOLE ON SIDE TWO THERE ARE NO  SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND 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 INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

.

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

THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS

INCREDIBLY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT 

NO DISTORTION

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WAS A FEW TINY SPECKLES OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE HERE AND THERE AND MAYBE IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT 

TAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FIRST ISSUE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE 

 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, SUPERB COLOURS THAT ARE RICH , VIBRANT AND MOST OF ALL UNRUBBED

 NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE TWO MICROSCOPIC PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE  ONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, 

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE SHELF RUB BUT ONLY AT THE CORNERS, THE REST OF THE SURFACE IS SUPERB

THE  SPINE IS MINT.  FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,  WITH EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.. THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE PERFECT

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT, AGAIN THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER SEEN

THE ORIGINAL PRINTED CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION.  

 

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
