ELTON JOHN - EMPTY SKY (1969)
UNPLAYED BEFORE TODAYS TEST - MINT AUDIO
OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS SLEEVE
RED TRANSLUCENT VINYL
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE..
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST NO SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. THIS IS AN IMMACULATE SET OF LABELS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THIS IS A FIRST PRESS DISC IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
NO HAIRLINES, NO MARKS JUST A PERFECT MINT DISC
THE VINYL IS ALSO PLUM TRANSLUCENT WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN PLACED IN FRONT OF A STRONG LIGHT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
PYE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES WERE ALL PRESSED ON THE SAME VINYL DURING THE LATE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S AND MOST PRESSINGS HAD SOME VINYL NOISE EMBEDDED INTO THE ACTUAL PRESS.
I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT THIS COPY HAS NONE WHATSOEVER
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE. NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE NO CLICKS OR POPS AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FIRST ISSUE E. J DAY AND CO HEAVILY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION AS MOST COPIES ARE VERY WORN AND RUBBED. HERE WE HAVE AN ALMOST PERFECT SPECIMEN
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE COLOUR, AND A PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNBLEMISHED IMAGE.
THE MAUVE TEXTURED SURFACE IS JUST PRISTINE AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RING WEAR OR EVEN A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE.
IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE . A PERFECT SPECIMIN
THERE ARE INCREDIBLY NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE .
NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES,AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE. THE MAUVE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH THE CORNER TIPS BEING UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEARLY AS PERFECT . THE REAR RIGHT CORNER HAS SOME RUB
THE SPINE IS PRISTINE IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND AMAZINGLY EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. JUST ONE DOT OF RUB ABOVE THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS PERFECT. RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT, FOUR MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS, PRISTINE IN EVERY WAY.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
