THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE HARVEST PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND JUST HAS 1-2 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW.
IT IS TOTALLY SPOTLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE SOME EMBEDDED (IN THE PRESS) DULL STREAKS AND LINES , WHICH ARE NON SOUNDING OF COURSE, PLUS A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
CRYSTAL CLEAR CLEAN AUDIO
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD A FEW TINY SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS OR POPS
SO I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS ONE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB COLOUR RICH CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR FADING WHATSOEVER, AND NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE. THE EDGES ARE AS PERFECT AS THE MIDDLE
THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH THE MOST MINUSCULE PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THERE IS ONE TINY INVISIBLE PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A DOT OF RUB ON THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SPORADIC TINY DOTS OF WHITE SHOWING ON BOTH SURFACES AND A LITTLE MORE TO THE REAR RIGHT AREA
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. FULL COLOUR APART FROM A TINY SPECK ON THE ENDS. PERFECT TYPEFACE, AND THERE ARE NO SQUASHES
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. A SLIGHT THUMB LINE MEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE ORIGINAL SHOP STICKER SITS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS CARD WITH ROUNDED CORNERS AND A LARGE THUMB NOTCH. THE LEFT SIDE HAS RUBBED IN THE MIDDLE AND THERE IS THE BAREST PIN HOLE OF A SPLIT
