THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NO STATIC ANYWHERE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I HEARD NO DUST POPS OR TICS WHATSOEVER
THIS ALBUM PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTEGATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY STORED UPRIGHT ALL OF IT'S LIFE AND BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED HAS HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET CREASED
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN THE SPINE IS 100% FREE OF PRESSURE LINES. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AND NO COLOUR FADE
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THERE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT. ONE SMALL THUMB LINE JUST UNDER THE PRODUCTION CREDIT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.
THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. JUST A FEW THUMB IMPRESSIONS NEAR THE TOP
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
