THE LABELS
SUPERB MINT HARVEST LABELS
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL RETAINS A VERY HEALTHY GLOSS AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS NEAR FAULTLESS. ONE LIGHT HANDLING LINE VISIBLE ON SIDE ONE
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A FEW FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND THREE LIGHT HANDLING LINES, PLUS A LITTLE EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLING IN A COUPLE OF SMALL PATCHES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE WHICH INDICATES NO GROOVE WEAR
A CRISP CLEAN STEREO SOUND THROUGHOUT, PURE FIRST PRESS
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO CLICKS OR POPS
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT WITH JUST A FEW HAVING THE TINIEST SPECK OF STATIC IN THEM
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE IN EVERY WAY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND GRADE IT AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT
THE LAMINATE IS STILL VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO LIFT PEEL OF FLAKE
NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE SOME RUB TO THE TIPS
THERE ARE NINE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY LAMINATED AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE NON- LAMINATED AND DO HAVE SOM SHELF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE HAS SOME FEATHERING TO THE TOP SECTION OF THE FRONT SURFACE
THE SPINE IS FULLY LAMINATED, HAS A LITTLE RUB AT THE BOTTOM TIP ONLY
THE REAR SURFACE SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. THERE IS A SMALL CREASE LINE OVER THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO CLEAN AND UNRUBBED INNER PANELS
THE HARVEST ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES, SO GLUE AGEING AT THE EDGES
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
