THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE BASE COLOUR ON THESE DELICATE LABELS ARE STILL PERFECT. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

I HAVE EXAMINED THE SPINDLE HOLE UNDER A SPOT LIGHT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER. 

 

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A SINGLE SURFACE HANDLING LINE ON TRACK ONE WHICH IS TOTALLY NON SOUNDING 

 

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY 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 FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT.LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND EVERY NOT IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION.NO LOUD CLICKS AND CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIOBLE STATIC

THIS LP PLAYS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WANT. IT IS QUITE STUNNING

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF


 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED  GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ON THE SURFACE

THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND ARE RICH AND VIBRANT

THERE IS JUST A VERY LIGHT BIT OF RUBBING ON THE EDGES 

THERE IS NO RINGWEAR AT ALL EITHER, NOT EVEN A TOUCH OF RECORD SHAPE

NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE OR THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE SPINE IS A HUGE WIDE SPINE THAT IS UNSQUASHED. THERE IS MILD RUBBING TO THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS. THE RED TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER. AGAIN NO PRESSURE LINES ON ANY OF THE EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF PANELS. 

THE FIRST PRESS DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO WEAR TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE OR THUMB NOTCH AND NONE OF THE SEAMS ARE SPLIT. IT IS ALSO FLAT AND UNCREASED

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+++
