THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
SILENT THROUGH THE LINKING GROOVES AND QUIET PASSAGES
NO TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED PROMOTONE B V GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE NON LAMINATED MATTE SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. AND UNFADED
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE.
THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE AND REALLY TINY PRESSURE LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ON EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ONLY HAVE A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS AND ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE REAR SURFACE.
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB ON THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS JUST AMAZING. A WIDESPINE IN MAGNIFICENT UNSQUASHED CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND UNFADED AND MATCHES THE FRONT AND BACK PERFECTLY
VERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AGAIN IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OR COLOUR LOSS OR CREASES. INCREDIBLY ONCE AGAIN NO LINES WHATSOEVER, NOT EVEN NEAR THE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ANYWHERE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL PICTURE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED CONDITION. NO RUBBING OR RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER MINT MINUS
