Description
STUNNING NEAR MINT / EX+ AUDIO FROM A 1968 1ST PRESS
COMPLETE WITH A NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS 4-5 SPIDER LINES NEXT TO IT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
SILENT / NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO WITH ONLY A TINY AMOUNT OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST / STATIC TICS (ONE AT A TIME NOT ROTATIONAL) SLIGHTLY MORE ON SIDE TWO
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT / EX+
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. USUALLY FOUND HEAVILY RINGWORN, THIS EXAMPLE ONLY HAS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
OTHER THAN THIS THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNFADED
ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A SPECK OF RUB ON THE TIPS
THE TOP EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB AT THE CORNERS . THE BOTTOM EDGE SOME FLECKS OF WHITE ALONG THE SURFACE AND SOME RUB AT THE RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE ENDS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT. NO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE EDGES. THE PASTE ON IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO COLOUR RUB WHATSOEVER
A SUPER EXAMPLE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
