THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. SILVER ON ONE SIDE AND MULTI COLOURED ON THE OTHER
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH INCREDIBLY. FOR A NEAR 50MYEAR OLD ALBUM IT IS JUST SUBLIME
THE FIRST TING TO MENTION IS A COMPLETE LACK OF ANY VINYL NOISE, EMBEDDED OR OTHERWISE
ALSO NO GROOVE WEAR THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE AUDIO
THE STEREO PERFORMANCE IS JUST MAJESTIC
CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO WITH EVER NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO TICS OR POPS APART FROM ONE VERY TINY ONE IN THE PENULTIMATE TRACK ON SIDE TWO - THIS IS VERY MINOR
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED, OR UNFADED
THERE ARE JUST THREE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ,TWO VERY TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGES ARE BOTH IN PRISTINE CONDITION. FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH THE TIPS HAVING A DOT OF RIB,AND A COUPLE OF TINY FLECKS ON THE LEADING EDGES. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. NO EDGE PRESSURE LINES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
