THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION,HAVING DEEP RICH AND VIBRANT COLOURS. AND PERFECT TYPEFACE
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS MOSTLY PRISTINE. THE ONLY MARK I SEE IS DULL INLINE MARK ON SIDE THREE
THE TEST PLAY
I HAVE ONLY RECORDED THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS
THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY SPECKLES OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
ON ISDE THREE THERE ARE TWO ROTATIONAL TINY SCUFF NOISES WHERE THE DEULL LINE SITS
A VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUNDING 1ST PRESS OF THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM
NO SERIOUS TICS OR POPS APART FROM A FEW TINY LITTLE LOW LEVEL RANDOM DUST TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE BOX
THE FRONT AND BACK PASTE ON'S ARE IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION.
THERE IS A LITTLE MILD RUBBING ON THE LEFT AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND A FEW SINGLE SPOTS NEAR THE TOP ON THE FRONT AND A TINY BOT OF RUB ON THE BORDERS ON THE REAR
THE BLACK BOX IS STILL PERFECTLY BLACK EVERYWHERE. NOT ONE JOT OF COLOUR LOSS OR RUB ANYWHERE AND THIS INCLUDES THE CORNER TIPS
THE GOLD TYPEFACE ON THE SPINE IS PERFECT
THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND NONE OF THEM HAVE SPLIT
THE POSTER IN MINT CONDITION
THE ELVIS WARDROBE CLOTH PATCH COMES INSIDE THE ORIGINAL ENVELOPE
THE FOUR ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVES ARE ALL UNSPLIT
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS BOX NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
