THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PICTURES AND COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. .
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL NEAR THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, IT LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS FIRST PRESSED IN 1974
EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM THE VERY ODD WISP.
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, .THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS. IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM THE VINYL.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES ONLY.
THERE ARE JUST A FSINGLE TINY STATIC TIC THROUGH THE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE UNLAMINATED HEAVILY TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS HEAVILY TEXTURED AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, AND MOST COPIES THAT YOU WILL SEE WILL BE HEAVILY WORN.PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS WHICH ALWAYS SEEM TO SUFFER ON THIS SLEEVE
THE ORANGE COLOUR ALSO USUALLY RUBS AT THE HIGH PINTS OF THE TEXTURED SURFACE MAKING A MOTTLED WHITE LOOK TO THE COVER. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE A SLEEVE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ALL OVER
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN, AND ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED AND REMAIN UNRUBBED AND IN PARTICULAR THE BLUE EMBOSSED TEXT IS JUST SUPERB. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE AND AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, NO THUMB LINES EITHER NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE USUALLY FOUND STRIPPED OF ALL ORANGE, BUT HERE THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH BOTH TIP ENDS BEING PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP , WITH A TINY SPECK OF BURR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR SURFACE,SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP AND SLEEVE HAS REMAINED IN THE CONDITION IT HAS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION,FREE FROM ANY SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR PERIMETER EDGES, AND NO HEAVY CREASES EITHER. ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED
THE ORIGINAL CARD PHOTO INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION.NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES AND A PERFECT THUMB NOTCH.
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
