PINK LABEL TEST PRESSING - VERY RARE
PLAYS EX+
SLEEVE VG+
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE TWO PINK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION.
HANDWRITTEN INFORMATION AS TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE DECCA STUDIOS
THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYLREALLY SHINES, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS VERY CLEAN. I CAN SEE THREE VERY FINE SKATE LINES, TWO ON SIDE ONE AND ONE ON SIDE TWO, PLS UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO SOME VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
DESPITE THE SKATE LINES (WHICH ARE SURFACE)
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT APART FROM A COUPLE THAT HAVE THE TINIEST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A FEW RANDOM BUT VERY LIGHT SINGLE SPOT TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX+ FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE BY SENOL PRINTING
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A SHINY LAMINATED SURFACE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A LITTLE RUB AND THE BOTTOM TWO SOME WEAR
THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. SEVEN ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND SEVEN THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB ON THE LEFT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUB AT BOTH CORNERS
THE SPINE HAS SOME RUB AT THE TOP END AND A SMALLER SPECK ON THE BOTTOM END
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL FAIRLY SHARP WITH A JLITTLE FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A STAMP IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER STATING THE RELEASE DATE AS BEING OCTOBER 16TH 1970. CLEARLY THIS IS FROM THE MANUFACTURER
THE WHITE SURFACE HAS AGEING AND SOME HANDLING AROUND THE EDGES , AND THERE IS A LIGHT TRACE OF RING WEAR
NO TEARS OR SEAM SPLITS AT ALL
INSIDE THE SLEEVE I FOUND A TYPED DECCA RECORD CO LETTER FROM THE COPYRIGHT DEPT. THIS LETTER OR NOTICE OUTLINES THE ALBUM AND WHATS ON IT
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE VG+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
