NO 'STEREO' ON THE LABEL LIKE REISSUES HAVE
- CATALOGUE:RCA APL1 1327
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE MATT ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT AND LOOKS FLAWLESS
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC
UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF THE FAINTEST WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FIRST PRESS AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
PLAYS TO A MINT STANDARD IN MY OPINION
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN . FIRSTLY THE VERY VULNERABLE WHITE SURFACE IS NEAR PERFECT.USALLY FOUND IN VERY GRUBBY CONDITION, THIS ONE ONLY SOME MILD SIGNS OF HANDLING
NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER
THERE IS A CREASE LINE THAT RUNS FROM THE SPINE IN THE MIDDLE ACROSS THE SLEEVE TO JUST PAST HALFWAY INTO THE PICTURE
EIGHT SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND FIVE THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE TOP EDGE HAS NO COLOUR LOSS AND THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR APART FROM A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, EVEN THE TOP END BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SIMILAR CONDITION AS THE FRONT ALTHOUGH THE CREASE LINE IS FAR PROMINENT ON THIS SIDE
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING IN THE MIDDLE
THE INSERT SHEET IS FREE FROMN TEARS OR CREASES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
