THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE CREAM COLOURED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 2-3TINY SPIDER LINES.
THE VINYL JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES EVER!!!. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THIS SET OF LABELS HAVE THE FIRST PRESS INDICATOR IN THAT THERE IS NO BOXED EMI LOGO AT 9 O'CLOCK, AND 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!!
THE HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL DISC IN IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION WITH A GLEAMING SHEEN THAT CAN ONLY BE FROM A BARELY PLAYED OR TOUCHED VINYL. THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES
THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THIS SUPERB FIRST PRESS IS THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
THE CUT IS LOUD AND THE VOCALS ARE CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL, WHILST THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTATION COMES THROUGH WITH A CLARITY THAT JUST BEGGARS BELIEF
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON THIS PLAYTHROUGH
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
OTHER THAN THIS THERE IS JUST THE BAREST TOUCH OF NEAR INAUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD JUST ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE PLAY (TRACK ONE - SIDE ONE)
THIS REALLY IS VERY CLOSE TO A MINT REPRODUCTION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AS IT'S YOUR GRADE THAT COUNTS HERE
THE SLEEVE
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MINT MINUS ORIGINAL TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. THE TEXTURED FINISH HAS NO RUB WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER, AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS AR SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT AND THE ONLY PIN PRICK OF RUB IS SEEN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. FLAT AND CLEAN . THE COLOUR IS PERFECT AND SO IS THE TYPEFACE. UNBLEMISHED TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE CARD INNER SLEEVE HAS A SMALL SEAM SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. OTHER THAN THIS IT'S PERFECT
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM
