NEAR MINT FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS 2-3 SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF HANDLING LINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS CLEAN ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE
IN THE SILENT PASSAGES I HEARD SOME LIGHT LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND
THIS IS ON THE A SIDE ONLY
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING AUDIO EX /NEAR MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
