THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE SWIRL LABEL ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. . THE WHITE SIDE JUST COULD NOT BE WHITER. IT IS TOTALLY CLEAN AND IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS AGAIN 100% PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IMPOSSIBLE AS IT SEEMS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST 2-3 TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH A STUNNING STEREO REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL ANYWHERE!!
NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS ETC.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD A TINY BIT OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS ON 'PLANET CARAVAN' PLUS ONE FURTHER TINY LITTLE SPECK ON ONE TRACK SIDE TWO
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
PRODUCED IN BOTH LAMINATED AND NON LAMINATED VERSIONS.
THIS IS A SIMPLY STUNNING LAMINATED SLEEVE
THE LAMINATE IS AS GLOSSY AS I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE, AND THERE IS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
JUST ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE. TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THREE ON THE SEALED RIGHT EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, INCLUDING PERFECT CORNER TIPS.
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE RED TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. ONCE AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS IMMACULATE AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH JUST ATINY BIT OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE FRONT. NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TWO THUMB LINES LESEWHERE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT CONDITION INNER SURFACES. WITH JUST A SLIVER OF AGEING ON THE OPENING EDGES
THE ORIGINAL SWIRLY INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS, VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED. A LITTLE GLUE AGEING ON THE TOP EDGE ANMD LIGHT AGEING TO ONE SIDE
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS WITHOUT A DOUBT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
