THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK IMPULSE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 50 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN ONE TINY AND VERY SLIGHTLY DULL HAIRLINE
THE TEST PLAY
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 FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS, JUS THE ODD TINY SPECKLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES - AN IMMACULATE AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
REALLY AMAZING TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN SUCH INCREDIBLE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

BEING EXPORTED FROM THE U.S THERE IS A PUNCH HOLE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THIS HAS ESCAPED AND SERIOUS AND UNSIGHTLY RUBBING ONLY SHOWING A SMALL PATCH OF GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE , BUT THIS IS ALMOST INVISIBLE
US COVERS ARE NOTORIOUS AT BEING POOR FOR RING WEAR AND SEAM SPLITS, BUT VERY FEW HAVE PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES, BUT THIS ONE HAS NEITHER
NO RING WEAR AMAZINGLY

THE BOTTOM EDGES DO HAVE A LITTLE MORE SHELF RUB ALONG THE SURFACES, MOSTLY IN THE CORNER AREAS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. ALMOST NO WEAR AND THE WHITE COLOUR HAS AGED OVER THE YEARS A LITTLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER.
THE FRONT SEALED EDGE SHOWS A TINY SPECK OF RUB AT THE TOP TIP END
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF HANDLING / AGEING TO THE TOP WHITE AREA AND A VERY THIN SLIVER OF RUB JUST OVER THE BOPTTOM EDGE
