THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION
PRISTINE UNRUBBED COLOURS AND PERFECT TEXT
I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
REALLY CLEAN ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS.
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME FINE HANDLING LINES AND A NUMBER OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
ON SIDE TWO ONLY
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITH A STUNNING CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO THAT IS LOUD AND POWERFUL
SIDE A HAS A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE FIRST TRACK
I HAVE USED AN ILLUMINATED MAGNIFYING GLASS, AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. MY ASSUMPTION THEREFORE IS THAT IT IS IN THE PRESSING
FOR THE FIRST FEW ROTATIONS THERE IS A LITTLE SCUFFY NOISE HEARD BEHIND THE MUSIC
AFTER WHICH THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL SPLIT SECOND SINGLE SPOT ROTATIONAL NOISE, HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS OF THE TRACK
THE REST OF SIDE ONE PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION
SIDE B HAS A LITTLE OF THE TINY BIT OF SINGLE SPOT VINYL NOISE FOR ONLY A LITTLE WAY INTO THE FIRST TRACK ( 1 MINUTE) . INAUDIBLE IF YOU SIT AT NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE
THERE ARE SOME RANDOM TINY STATIC LIKE TICS ON SIDE TWO
PLUS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON SIDE TWO ONLY
ON BOTH SIDES THE RECORD IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THIS RECORD HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO A WORN OR CHIPPED STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS FIRST PRESS STANDARD
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS ANYWHERE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE MADE BY CLOUT AND BAKER
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURED AND ONLY SHOWS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE MORE RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS FLAT . PRISTINE TEXT, UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, JUST A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE LOYRIC INSERT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE DIE CUT INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS JUST SOME EDGE AGEING
THE SLEEVE GRADES EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
