THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE 1st PRESS DARKER BLUE PYE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THE  BLUE SURFACE IS UNMARKED. 

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THAT THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CLEAR AND CRISP THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

THERE IS THE ODD LIGHT BIT OF VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE QUIETEST SPOTS  AND ONE OR TWO TINY DUST POPS THOUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED , GATEFOLD IN VERY NICE CONDITION

THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE REASON BEING THAT THE NON LAMINATED DUSTY RED SURFACE  RUBS SEVERELY,

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESS THERE IS NO GRUBBINESS TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. 

THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RUBBING ALONG THE OPENING EDGE AND BOTTOM EDGE ONLY

 THERE IS NO RING WEAR EITHER NOR IS THERE ANY SIGN OF RECORD SHAPE.

THERE ARE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES, FOLD, BENDS OR DINGS, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIPS ON THE BOTTOM

THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP  EDGES ARE 100% MINT AND UNRUBBED. ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGES SHOW SOME MILD SHELF RUB TO THE REAR SURFACE AND SOME RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNERS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE ONLY WHITE SHOWING ON THE RED SURFACE IS A SMALL SPECK ON THE BOTTOM TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED

THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT. NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TOTALLY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE IS IN FLAT AND UNSPLIT CONDITION . LIGHTLY AGED

 I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT
