THE RECORD
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 3-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. THE LABELS ARE THE FIRST PRESS LABELS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BOXED EMI LOGO AT 9 O'CLOCK
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL HARVEST VINYL THAT LOOKS SUPERB. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE WISPY HAIRLINES
.PLAYING THE RECORD
A TRUE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT ENSURES THAT EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
THE SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A VERY LIGHT CLICK THAT LASTS FOR TWO MINUTES. ABOUT ONE MINUTE INTO SIDE ONE. THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD IN THE VERY QUIETEST PASSAGES ONLY AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS HERE ARE THERE. THIS IS RESTIRCTED TO THE FIRST HALF OF SIDE ONE ONLY FROM THERE ON THE VINYL IS ONLY INTERRUPTED BY A FEW TINY DUST POPS ON SIDE 2, AND MOST OF SIDE 2 HAS NEAR SILENT PASSAGES WHICH SOUND SUPERB AND CLEAR
FOR ME THIS EXCEPTIONAL SOUND GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS ON SIDE ONE AND NEAR MINT ON SIDE 2
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINTED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD IS MADE FROM A VERY SOFT CARD, AND IS VERY PRONE TO HANDLING MARKS AND STAINS DUE TO THE POROUS NATURE OF THE CARD. ANY FINGERMARK WILL STAIN THE SLEEVE
THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A COUPLE OF MARKS WHICH ARE VISIBLE IN THE PICTURE AND COULD BE CAREFULLY REMOVED. RINGWEAR IS VISIBLE FRONT AND REAR OF SLEEVE. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED,
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SHELF WEAR WITH THE BOTTOM SUFFERING MOST BUT STILL, THEY'RE NOT RUINED BY ANY MEANS AND STILL HOLD THEIR SHAPE WELL
THE SPINE IS QUITE WORN WITH THE THE WRITING JUST LEGIBLE AND NO MORE.
NO MARKS ON THE REAR SURFACE BUT RINGWEAR SHOWING AS MENTIONED, SMALL SCUFF TOP LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT
THE OPENING EDGE ISN'T BADLY FEATHERED AND STILL HOLDS IT'S SHAPE, NOT QUITE RAZOR SHARP BUT STILL STRAIGHT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VG
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU BID FOR IT
ALL RECORDS TESTED ON TECHNICS SL-D2 WITH NEW ORTOFON NEEDLE AND CARTRIDGE THROUGH CAMBRIDGE PRE-AMP AND AMP
