THE LABELS
THE GOLD LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION
PERFECT UNRUBBED SURFACE WITH BLACK TEXT THAT IS ALSO MINT
THE SPINDLE HOLES SHOW NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE ORIGINAL SHEEN HAS BEEN RETAINED AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT
AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED DULL STREAK LINES
THE TEST PLAY
AN ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE 1ST PRESS WHICH PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTE IS LOUD, CLEAN AND CRISP, JUST HOW IT WAS INTENDED TO BE HEARD.
THERE IS NO CRACKLE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS
THE STERO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM START TO FINISH
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS, TICKS OR CLICKS AT ALL DURING THE PLAY JUST A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE.
THE GOLD BORDERS ARE IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. NO OBVIOUS RUB TO THE SURFACE, JUST A VERY SLIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING
THE MAIN PICTURE IN THE CENTRE IS IMMACULATE. DEEP RICH COLOURS
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE . NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE IS IN SUPER CONDITION. THE GOLD COLOUR IS FULLY COMPLETE FROM CORNER TO CORNER THERE ARE A FEW PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE. THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE LIGHT RUB IN THE CORNERS
THE SPINE IS FLAT, AND MOSTLY FULLY COLOURED. A LITTLE RUB AT THE BOTTOM END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG
THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE RICH DARK COLOUR. OTHER THAN A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR, BUT THIS IS QUITE MINOR COMPARED TO MOST
THE QUAD ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS AND NOMAJOR CREASING
THIS REMARKABLE SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
