THE LABELS
THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION NOTHING TO SEE
THIS IS A PERFECT MINT RECORD
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
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AND NOT EVEN ANY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT
THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION A FINAL UPGRADE
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL HEAVY CARDED SHOREWOOD SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT. THIS SLEEVE IS PRONE TO RINGWEAR AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE FRONT AND REAR SURFACES, BUT THIS SLEEVE DOESN'T HAVE ANY
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM
NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND FREE FROM ANY RUB
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOUR RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP, AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS INCLUDING THE TIP ENDS. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND 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 WITH JUST ONE TINY SPECK OF BURRING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT EDGE.
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
IT IS THAT GOOD
