THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE YELLOW DJM LOGO IS UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS ONLY EVER HAD A COUPLE OF TRIPS ROUND A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE SOME EMBEDDED NON SOUNDING DULL STREAKS. THE VINYL IS TRANSLUCENT RED AND ALSO HAS SOME DARKER RED MARBLING STREAKS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND EITHER AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS HAD, WE COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I ONLY HEARD ONE TINY DUST POP, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAY
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
HIGHLY POLISHED LAMINATE ON THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE TINY ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, PERFECT LAMINATE RUNNING THE FULL LENGTH OF THE SLEEVE WITH TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE .
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, JAGAIN THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT, AND THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON AY OF THE EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. UNUSUALLY THERE IS NO PAPER PULL ON THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE LAMINATE WRAPS ROUND. CLEARLY THIS SLEEVE WAS ALLOWED TO DRY BEFORE BEING CLOSED.
THE BOOKLET IS JUST IMMACULATE
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS UNSPLIT BUT CREASED
THIS IS A REAL RARITY AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
