THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1-2 REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST 3-4 WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

AN OUTSTANDING RECORD

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 THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS 1980 PRESS IS JUST SUPERB CLEAR . CLEAN AND CRISP, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE DISC HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS

NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN JUST A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO

NO DUST POPS JUST A FEW TINY STATIC TICS HEARD 

THIS PLAYBACK GRADES  MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THROUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED MSTTE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN ANYTHING LIKE A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. USUALLY THE COLOURS ARE BADLY RUBBED AND THE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE AND PERIMETER EDGES MAKE THE WHOLE THING LOOK SHABBY

THIS SLEEVE  IS  IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH VERY FEW ISSUES

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE , THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE, AND NO COLOUR FADE 

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. 

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE.

NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NONE ON THE RIGHT SEALED EDGE

NO DENTS OR BENDS  AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SLEEVE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECTLY COLOURED WITH ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NOT EVEN ANY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE COLOUR IS ALL RETAINED WITH JUST A FEW TINY PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING ON  THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS BY LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE COVER

THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE IS ALMOST IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION AS THE FRONT. NO SPINE PRESSURE LINES, JUST A LIGHT SCRATCH LINE INSIDE THE DARK CLOUD AT THE TOP

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PAIR OF PRISTINE BLACK EDGED PANELS. 

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THE INNER HAS A HISTORY OF SEVERE SEAM SPLITTING. THIS ONE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AT ALL. AND UNUSUALLY THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE EDGES, JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE LEFT EDGE

THUMB NOTCH IS PERFECT

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
