THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER A BANK OF SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS CLEANLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUM
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
A CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND THROUGH OUT
THE INSTRUMENTATION IS HEARD CLEARLY AND AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. AND NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VERY TINY LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY
TAKE A LISTEN TO THE AUDIO AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SOME RING WEAR AND A SMALL PAPER PULL IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A BIT OF RUB TO THE ENDS
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
ALL OF THE SEALED EDGES HAVE SHELF WEAR WHICH MAKES THE SLEEVE LOOK A LITTLE TATTY
THE OPENING EDGEIS STILL VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT
THE BLUE AND WHITE 'STARS' INNER SLEEVE HAS A SMALL SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND IS FLAT AND CREASE FREE
THE SLEEVE GRADES AROUND THE VG MARK
