THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE HARVEST LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE ABOUT 8-10 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD HAS RETAINED A VERY HEALTHY SHEEN
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO HAVE NO MARKS AND APPEAR FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS HOWEVER THERE A NUMBER OF VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES ON SIDE ONE
SIDE TWO SHOWS SIMILAR BUT ALSO HAS A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS AND A FEW HANDLING LINES AS WELL
THE TEST PLAY
DESPITE THE MARKS ON THE VINYL THIS RECORD PLAYS REALLY WELL
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THE AUDIO IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY DISTORTION, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
SIDE A:- THIS SIDE PLAYS REALLY WELL THROUGHOUT. CLEAR AND CLEAN AUDIO. NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AND POPS
THERE IS A LITTLE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A FEW RANDOM LIGHT TICS AND POPS
SIDE B:- THIS STILL PLAYS WITH A DISTORTION FREE AUDIO, BUT THERE IS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD IN PLACES AND SOME RANDOM POPS AND TICS THROUGH THE 2ND-4TH TRACKS OF THE SIDE
THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS OF A SORT OF A LIGHT SCUFFY NOISE IN THE SECOND TRACK
THE FIRST AND FINAL TRACKS PLAY AS WELL AS THE REST OF SIDE ONE
SO IT IS WELL WORHT TAKING A LISTEN TO THE RECORDING I HAVE MADE OF THE WHOLE ALBUM
I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO EX+ FOR SIDE ONE AND VG+ FOR SIDE B
THE SLEEVE
FROM THE E.J.DAY GROUP A TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE
THERE IS A SMALL PATCH OF MISSING TOP SURFACE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE A STICKER ONCE SAT AND WAS REMOVED
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A LITTLE RUB
THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BOTH HAVE SHELF WEAR ACROSS BOTH SURFACES
THE SPINE HAS RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM LEADING ADGES AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL MOSTLY SHARP , WITH LIGHT FEATHERING IN PLACES
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITHOUT THE STICKER REMOVAL
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THAT THE INNER PANELS SOME MILD AGEING TO THE VERY EDGES AND SOME HANDLING TO THE WHITE SURFACES
THE HARVEST ADVERTTISING INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE VG+
