THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE 2-3 SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF NEAR INVISIBLE TISY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SOUNDS.
BEING A PINK FLOYD ALBUM THERE ARE MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ACROSS THE RECORD AND THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT,PLUS THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE ON ANY PART OF THIS ALBUM, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION, THUS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO TICS OR POPS
THE VINYL JUST PLAYS SUBLIMELY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOVE OR MOST SILENT PASSAGE, BUT THATS ALL
A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE AND I GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IN MY OPINION IS THE HARDEST TO COLLECT OF ANY PINK FLOYD ALBUMS
HARDEST TO COLLECT IF YOU WANT A NEAR PRISTINE OR ABOVE EXAMPLE
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS ON OFFER ON EBAY AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN
THIS NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO OFFER UP
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE 1ST ISSUE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE . FREE FROM RUB OR FADFE, AND MOST SPECTAULAR OF ALL IS THAT THERE IS NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO ANY PART OF THE COVER
THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE SMALL PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE, WHICH OS HIDDEN IN THE GRASS. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ANOTHER MIRACLE IS THAT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR, OR RUBBING AND THE COLOUR RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FOUR SURFACES WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FULLY COLOURED. NO WEAR OR RUB AND THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM END HAVE NO RUB WHATSOEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP TO SHOW HOW LITTLE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT . AND HERE THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE TWO INNER PANELS, WHICH ARE UNLAMINATED AND IN SUPERB ORIGINAL UNMARKED CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
