THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE PASTEL GREEN COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT. SIDE TWO HAS A COUPLE OF TINY WATER MARKS THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 REALLY SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE ONE DULL SURFACE LINE ON TRACK ONE SIDE, ONE AND A FEW VERY FINE SMALL HAIRLINES AND ONE VERY TINY HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO
THE TEST PLAY
THE RECORD PLAYS VERY CLEANLY THROUGH MOST OF THE VOLUME
BRIGHT CLEAR STEREO SOUND
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
THERE ARE A FEW SMALL AREAS OF LIGHT BACKGROUND. AT THE START OF THE PENULTIMATE TRACK ON SIDE TWO FOR A FEW ROTATIONS AND A COUPLE OF SPECKS ON SIDE ONE. IN ADDITIONA LITTLE OCCASIONAL VERY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH EX+ / EX
TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION . THERE IS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING DOWN THE CENTRE OF THE PICTURE, WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT FLAP HAS BEEN BENT AT ONE POINT
THIS IS NO NON LENTICULAR IMAGE
THERE ARE FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE FRONT FLAP HAVE LIGHT BURRING
THE TOP COLOURED EDGE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND HAS UNBLEMISHED CORNERS.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME RUBBING AND SOME AT THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE ALSO HAS ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT AND AGAIN THERE IS NO PEEL, OR FLAKE . EVEN DOWN TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS WHICH ARE JUST BARELY RUBBED. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE, AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP A
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE SLEEVE HAS THE IDENTIFICATION PORTHOLE AT THE TOP RIGHT BUT IT HAS BEEN OVERLAID WITH A BLUE STICKER THAT STATES 'THIS IS A STEREO RECORD'
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE INNER PANELS, WITH THE LEFT ONE HAVING THE SAME CREASE LINE AS THE FRONT
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX++
IT IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
