THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PALE BLUE UNBOXED AND GROOVED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A SMALL CLUSTER OF TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. BEAR IN MIND THIS ALBUM IS 56 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN GLEAMING ORIGINAL CONDITION, IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SMALL HANDLING LINES
NO MARKS OR DULLING
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
THIS LP PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I ALSO DETECTED A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS / POPS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE GREAT PLEASURE IN GRADING THIS EX+ FOR THE AUDIO
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
1ST ISSUE GATEFOLD WITH LENTICULAR FRONT IMAGE
YOU KNOW HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS TO FIND ANY EARLY ORIGINAL STONES SLEEVE IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, BUT THIS NEAR PERFECT
SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IT HAS NOT LOST ONE IOTA OF IT'S ORIGINAL DAY OF RELEASE SHEEN, AND LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID BACK IN 1967
THERE IS NOT ONE HEAVY CREASE ANYWHERE, AND ONLY ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE . ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
NO RINGWEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE LENTICULAR IMAGE IS MINT
TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB AT THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS STILL VERY FLAT , AND THE ENDS ARE 100% UNRUBBED, AND UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE LOOKS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT, JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE OVER THE TOP LEFT CORNER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND PICTURES ARE CLEAN AND UNRUBBED, AND THE STRIP OF LAMINATE IS UNDAMAGED
THE ORIGINAL DECCA RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, TOTALLY FLAT WITH BARELY A WRINKLE . THERE IS A TINY PIECE OF TAPE IN ONE TOP CORNER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
