NEAR MINT SLEEVE WITH PICTURE INNERS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE VERTIGO SACESHIP LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
BOTH DISCS HAVE RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK TO BE PRISTINE AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO ARE THERE A COUPLE OF FINE SURFACE HANDLING LINES AND SOME SMALL SWIRLY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
A CLASSIC LIVE ALBUM THAT SOUNDS MAGNIFICENT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD WERE A HANDFULL OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF VERY LIGHT AND LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES (OF WHICH THERE ARE NOT MANY)
NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE DESIGNED BY HIPGNOSIS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY RUB OR FADE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALMOST FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT. IT IS 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR . THERE IS A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM END
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ROSSI/PARFITT INNER SLEEVE HAS NO CREASES, AND ONE SMALL SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE ON ONE SIDE
THE LANCASTER /COGHLAN INNER HAS NO CREASES OR SEAM SPLITS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
