THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK STEREO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE LOIGHT RUBBED SPINDLE HOLE, 

THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED


THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. 

IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A JUSTA COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES 


THE TEST PLAY


 THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

THE EARLY STEREO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL HAS NONE OF THAT

THE RUN IN'S ARE SILENT ON BOTH SIDES

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. 

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

 NO DUST POPS OR TICS

ALL I HEARD WAS  A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES. NEVER IN THE TRACKS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS  DISC. WE DON'T BELIEVE IT CAN BE BETTERED

WE JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS MINT MINUS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND IMPORTANTLY NO YELLOWING LIKE MANY

NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON A COUPLE OF THE TIP ENDS

THERE ARE SIX VERY TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH PERFECT CORNERS. THE BOTTOM EDGE SIMILAR WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP

THE SPINE IS PERFECT. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND UNDAMAGED. 

.EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SQUASHING TO THE SPINE WHATSOEVER 

THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE SERRATION

THE REAR SURFACE IS UNLAMINATED AND HAS REMAINED IN PRISTINE CONDITION. 

THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE DELICATE BLACK AREAS, WHILST THE WHITE LETTERING IS UNBLEMISHED AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING AND AGEING. 

THE FLIPBACKS ARE PRISTINE, PERFECTLY ADHERED AND NO CRACKS 


 MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT
