THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE FIRST PRESS OF THIS ALBUM MUST HAVE MATT ORANGE LABELS, NOT GLOSSY. THESE FIRST PRESS LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION, HAVING A DEEP RICH ORANGE COLOUR, FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS, AND NO RUBBING TO EITHER THE COLOUR, ALL THE BLACK TYPEFACE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THIS FIRST PRESS VINYL, HAS A DEEP RICH SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, WHILST UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS STILL NOTHING VISIBLE
A MINT RECORD
PLAYING THE VINYL YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT, THE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREOPHONIC REPRODUCTION THAT IS PURE FIRST PRESS.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS VINYL HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN PLAYED ON A HI-FI SYSTEM THAT HAD CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND BALANCED, AND UNWORN STYLUS.
ALSO PLAYING THIS VINYL YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, NOR ARE THERE ANY POPS OR CLICKS, AND FOR THAT MATTER NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
I HEARD A FOUR TINY RANDOM DUST POPS ON SIDE TWO
AND ON THAT BASIS I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION OF THIS AS MINT / NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
AN IMMACULATE MACNEILL PRESS FIRST ISSUE UNLAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
