    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    THE JET 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 YELLOW DJM LOGO IS UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE 

    THE VINYL

    THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.  IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.

    THE VINYL IS ALSO  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.

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

    NO HEAVY CRACKLE OF LOUD CLICKS

                                             NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR                                                                 THERE IS THE TINIEST SPECK OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD DURING SOME                                           OFTHE MOST SILENT PASSAGES ONLY, BUT THIS VERY MINOR INDEED                               NO POPS OR TICS

    PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

    I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS NEAR MINT

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE  SLEEVE WITH THE  TEXTURED SURFACE WITH BOOKLET

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE  COLOUR, AND A PERFECT TEXTURED FINISHED THAT HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED

    NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

    THE TOP EDGES ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE BLUE SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER.

    THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION

    THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION.  FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,  WITH EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.. UNRUBBED ENDS

    THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT, NO PRESSURE LINES AND SHARP SQUARE COPRNERS

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A  PRISTINE PAIR OF TEXTURED INNER PANELS. 

    THE BOOKLET IS IN PERFECT CONDITION

    THE ORIGINAL DIE CUT PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT CONDITION. THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF AGEING TO THE ONCE PURE WHITE SURFACE
