THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE TAN AND RED EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. 

THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. 

THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY  CONDITION VINYL.

LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES 

THE TEST PLAY

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

THE CLARITY OF THIS PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION.

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

THERE IS NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE BACKGROUND STATIC OR EVEN VINYL NOISE. 

NO TICS OR POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  NEAR MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

FLIMSY NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.

THIS SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND SERIOUSLY RUBBED OR CREASED BECAUSE IT IS SO THIN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE IS A VERY POWDERY FINISH AND EASILY WORN. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS FAR BETTER THAN MOSTEXCEPTIONAL CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN..

THE DELICATE PURPLE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO  HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE. 

THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . FIVE ON THE TOP EDGE, TWOON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

NO RING WEAR, JUST A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION

THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A DOT OF RUB

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHICH AGAIN USUALLY SUFFER TERRIBLY FROM SHELFWEAR, ONLY HAVE A FEW TINY FLECKS OF UNDERCARD SHOWING AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS

ONE OTHER POINT ABOUT A FIRST PRESS. THE SPINE WORDING WILL ALSO APPEAR ALONG THE TOP EDGE AS WELL

THE SPINE ALSO HAS A FEW WHITE FLECKS ON THE SURFACE  AND A SMALL FINGER TO THYUMB IMPRESSION. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP  

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPER CONDITION. NO RUB TO THE COLOURS AT ALL, AND A PERFECT BLACK BORDER, JUST A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION AND A FEW SMALL EDGE PRESSURE LINES

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  EX+
