THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, BOTH COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED WITH THE WHITE SECTION REMAINING 'WHITE'
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN WITH JUST 2-3 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY, SHOWING THAT THE LP WAS BARELY PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO HANDLING MARKS TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE.
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT ANY PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING AT ALL, AND NO CLICKS EITHER.
ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR TICS WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
SILENT IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
ANYONE THAT HAS TRIED TO FIND A SUPERIOR COPY OF THIS ALBUM KNOWS THAT THIS IS A NEAR IMPOSSIBLE SLEEVE TO FIND IN 'AS NEW' CONDITION, BECAUSE IT IS SO FLIMSY THAT IS CREASES EASILY AND MOST COPIES WILL HAVE MULTIPLE SMALL LINES AROUND THE EDGES AT BEST. HERE IS ONE THAT HAS SAT INSIDE A STRONG PLASTIC OUTER FROM THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED, AND IT IS VIRTUALLY PERFECT
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE RICH VIBRANT COLOURS
THE COLOURS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING OR COLOUR FADE AT ANY POINT ON THIS SLEEVE.
THE ORIGINAL W.H.SMITH PRICE STICKER STILL SITS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND THERE ARE JUST TWO OF THE TINIEST AND BARLEY VISIBLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE.
TWO EQUALLY MINUTE ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE.
NO THUMB LINES ALONG THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SCUFF ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH A PIN PRICK DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A TINY SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE AND A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNWORN. JUST A DOT OF RUB TO THE TOP TIP END
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPER CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN JUST TWO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO PERFECT. FLAT UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
THIS IS A VAULT CONDITION LP AND SLEEVE!!! AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
