THE LABELS:

THE PASTEL GREEN LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE, UNRUBBED CONDITION., WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPE FACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

A CLOSS STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 REALLY SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THIS IS A VERY EARLY PRESS AND THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE THE LOWEST I'VE EVER SEEN.

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURAL. ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC. IN DAYLIGHT THEREIS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. INTENSE ILLUMINATION REVEALS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF HANDLING LINES. STUNNING FOR A RECORD OF THIS AGE.

PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY AND THE SOUND IS WARM AND VIBRANT WITH NO ISSUES.

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED 3D ISSUE ROBERT STACE LAMINATED GATEFOLD IN SUPERB CONDITION.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT, CLEAN CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS. THE 3D INAGE IS CORRECTLY ADHERED TO THE FRONT SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE. THERE ARE JUST 5 BARELY VISIBLE MINISCULE LAMINATE LINES CLOSS TO THE SPINE AND NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FACTORY LAMINATE FLAWS. THE FIRST IS DOWN THE RIGHT EDGE NEXT TO THE 3D IMAGE. AND RUNS IN A SEMI-CIRCLE DOWN THE LENGHT OF THE DESIGN. THE SECOND IS FAR SMALLER AND SITS NEXT TO THE THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE 3D IMAGE. SOME VERY SLIGHT STICKER RESIDUE TO TOP RIGHT CORNER.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL PROPERLY LAMINATED WITH ONE MINISCULE LITTLE WHITE FLECK SHOWING ON THE TOP OF THE EDGE. THERE ARE A FEW THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE GATEFOLD LIGHTLY OVERLAPS THE SECTION THAT HOUSES THE RECORD.

THE SPINE IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDTION. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. IT IS PEFFECTLY FORMED AND THE TYPE FACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.. THE VERY TIPS OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM ARE EVER SO LIGHTLY RUBBED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND ONLY HAS OE TINY THUM NICK ALONG THE EDGE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS SUPERB!

THE ORIGINAL RED AND WHITE INNER IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO SPLITS OR TEARS.JUST SOME VERY MINOR CREASING TO THE OPENING.

THE SLEEVE GRADES EX++
