THE RECORD
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS ONE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF FINE HANDLING LINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR DURING THE PLAY ARE SOME RANDOM LITTLE TICS. THESE ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND HAVE LITTLE IMAPCT ON THE OVERALL ENJOYMENT OF THIS RARE ALBUM
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS EX+
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
VERY POROUS SLEEVE MADE INEXPENSIVELY AS IT WAS A PRIVATE PRESS
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH BLACK IMAGERY AND TEXT
THE WHITE SURFACE HAS AGED AND SHOWS HANDLING, BUT THERE ARE NO TEARS OR SPLITS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECT FLIPBACKS
LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS AGEING, SOME FOXING AND HANDLING
WHAT THERE IS INSIDE THIS SLEEVE IS AN INSERT SHWING THE PERFORMERS ON THIS ALBUM. NONE OF THE OTHER THREE THAT HAVE SOLD OF THIS RARE ALBUM HAVE MENTIONED THIS INSERT
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX
