THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND THE WHITE BAND IS STILL WHITE AND NOT SOILED AT ALL. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE LABEL HAS ALL OF THE FIRST PRESS INDICATORS. THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE LABEL DOESN'T HAVE THE SMALL DASH IN THE MIDDLE LIKE LATER PRESSES, AND IMPORTANTLY THE PETER GRANT CREDITS ARE THERE WHICH ARE OMITTED FROM ALL OTHER PRESSES
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS EXCELLENT .
I HAVE PLAY TESTED AND IT SOUNDS GREAT ON MY SYSTEM
THERE IS LITTLE BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE SLEEVE
THE ICONIC ZEP III SLEEVE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH A PROPERLY WORKING 'WHEEL'
THIS ORIGINAL ISSUE E.J.DAY AND CO LAMINATED SLEEVE ALWAYS SEEMS TO SUFFER FROM SEVERE YELLOWING TO THE WHITE SURFACE , PARTICULARLY AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGE. HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE, THAT ONLY HAS VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF EDGE AGE, WITH THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS IN IT'S SUPERB ORIGINAL WHITE STATE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW MINOR CREASE LINES IN THE FRONT AND NONE ON THE REAR
THE SPINE IS IN EXCELLENY CONDITION TOO AND PERFECTLY INTACT
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE WEAR THAT I HAVE TRIED TO CAPTURE IN THE PHOTO
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT WITH JUST A FEW CREASES
AS ALWAYS IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MY GRADING I AM VERY HAPPY TO ACCEPT A RETURN
