THE LABELS
THE BURGUNDY NIPPER LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE GOLD TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL STILL RETAINS A HEALTH ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT SOME VERY SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW TINY HANDLING LINES / MARKS - ALL INVISIBLE IN DAYLIGHT
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION ANYWHERE. SO THE RECORD WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS
THE VINYL PLAYS CLEARLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD CLICKS, STICKS OR POPS
THERE IS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND HEARD BEHIND THE MUSIC
ONE OR TWO LITTLE TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EX FOR THE AUDIO
TAKE A LISTEN TO IT, AND DECIDED FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE. NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN.
THE LAMINATED SURFACE STILL HAS A LOVELY SHEEN TO IT, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES VISIBLE.

THE ONCE WHITE SURFACE HAS AGED
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS . NO CREASES , JUST A LITTLE FOXING
