THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST 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 NO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS PERFECT. I HAVE PLACED IT UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED RING AND CAN SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SOUNDS.
BEING A PINK FLOYD ALBUM THERE ARE MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ACROSS THE RECORD AND THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT,PLUS THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE ON ANY PART OF THIS ALBUM, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
YOU WILL HEARD A FEW VERY MINOR SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HERE AND THERE, BUT NOTHING TO SERIOUSLY MAR THE SUPERB PERFORMANCE OF THIS ALBUM
I HEAR TWO TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IN MY OPINION IS THE HARDEST TO COLLECT OF ANY PINK FLOYD ALBUMS
HARDEST TO COLLECT IF YOU WANT A NEAR PRISTINE OR ABOVE EXAMPLE
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS ON OFFER ON EBAY AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN
THIS NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD IS IN REALLY CLEAN AND COLLECTABLE CONDITION
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND MOST SPECTAULAR OF ALL IS THAT THERE IS NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO ANY PART OF THE COVER
THERE IS A VERY LIGHT PATCH OF RUB ALONG THE SPINE, MOST VISIBLE IN THE GRASSY SECTION
THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ANOTHER MIRACLE IS THAT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR, OR RUBBING AND THE COLOUR RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FOUR SURFACES WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS
YET ANOTHER IMPOSSIBILITY!! THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FULLY COLOURED. NO WEAR OR RUB OTHER THAN A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE ON THWE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE, AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A DOT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP TO SHOW HOW LITTLE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT . AND HERE THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, JUST THE THINNEST SLIVER OF AGEING ON THE SPINE EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER PANELS, WHICH ARE UNLAMINATED AND IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMARKED CONDITION
THE CORRECT QUAD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE CONDITION , NOT ONE CREASE LINE
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
