THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. THERE ARE 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE ONE VERY FAINT HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE. THIS AS YOU CAN HEAR IS TOTALLY NON SOUNDING. THERE ARE ALSO SOME TINY EMBEDDED GREY FLECKS IN THE DISC WHICH AGAIN ARE NON SOUNDING
THE TEST PLAY
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD TICS OR CLICKS
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT OR NEAR SILENT WITH A COUPLE HAVING A TINY SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN THEM AND ONE OR TWO SPECKS IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
I HEARD PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
A REALLY SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS 1969 CLASSIC
HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE.
NO LAMINATE LIFT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE
THERE IS SOME LIGHT AGEING UNDER THE LAMINATE WHICH IS MOST PROMINET AROUND THE EDGES
THERE ARE THREE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE STRETCH LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNERS
THE SPINE IS ALSO FULLY LAMINATED, TOTALLY FLAT AND THERE IS NO PEEL OR FLAKE TO THE SURFACE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.THE ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE FEATHERING. THE ORIGINAL ONER HAS NEATLY WRITTEN INSIDE THE OPENING EDGE THE DATE AND PLACE OF PURCHASE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.. THAT LIGHT AGEING ALSO APPEARS HERE AS WELL
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS BEEN ADORNED WITH PRESS CUTTINGS FROM THE YEAR OF RELEASE
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
THIS IS A SUPERB COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM, AND WILL NOT NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
