THE LABELS
THE TAN AND RED EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT.
THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN.
THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
INCREDIBLE GLOSSY CONDITION VINYL.
LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT.
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS JUST AS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH FAULTLESSLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
IT'S ALL HERE, RUN IN'S, RUN OUTS, LINKING GROOVES, AND OF COURSE THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS FIRST PRESS REPRODUCTIVELY.
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO TICS OR CLICKS
THERE IS NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE BACKGROUND STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FLIMSY NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.
THIS SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND SERIOUSLY RUBBED OR CREASED BECAUSE IT IS SO THIN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE IS A VERY POWDERY FINISH AND EASILY WORN. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN..
THE DELICATE PURPLE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.
THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE . TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR, AND ONLY THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHICH AGAIN USUALLY SUFFER TERRIBLY FROM SHELFWEAR, ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP SHOWS A SPECK OF RUB. OTHER THAN THIS A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE
ONE OTHER POINT ABOUT A FIRST PRESS. THE SPINE WORDING WILL ALSO APPEAR ALONG THE TOP EDGE AS WELL
THE SPINE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS SLEEVE IS. MOST WILL BE WORN THROUGH WITH THE TYPEFACE WORN AWAY. THIS ONE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. THERE IS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPER CONDITION. NO RUB TO THE COLOURS AT ALL, AND A PERFECT BLACK BORDER
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
