THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE 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.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS PERFECT
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY SCARCE RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO PERFECTION THROUGHOUT
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A FEW RANDOM PLACES
NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
IT IS VERY RARE TO FIND A SCARCE RECORD LIKE THIS IN THE SORT OF CONDITION YOU CAN ONLY EVER HOPE TO FIND, BUT HERE IT IS
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE., APART FROM A TINY SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY, JUST THREE TINY PATCHES OF LIFT BY THE SPINE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . A TINY SPECK OF FLAKE TO THE LAMINATE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS HAVE A DOT OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS AMAZING AS THE FRONT.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL APPLE INNER SLEEVE HAS SOME CREASING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
