    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE, JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON SIDE ONE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. CLEARLY A WELL CARED FOR 57 YEAR OLD ALBUM

    A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 6-7  SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

    THE VINYL

     

    THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.

    UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE TINY NON SOUNDING HANDLING MARK

    PLAYING THE RECORD


    THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

    THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION

    I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND THIS RECORDING PRODUCES AND ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

    I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS OUTSTANDING DISC MINT MINUS

    TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES THE FOUR CORNERS ARE IN SHARP AND SQUARE CONDITION

    THERE IS ONE SMALL PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. A SMALL CLUSTER OF NEAR INVISIBLE ONES ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH THE LAMINATE RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, WITH ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS UNBLEMISHED.

    THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH JUST A SPECK OF AGEING TO THE BOTTOM TIP. IT IS 100% UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.

    THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP AND AS NEW, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE . JUST A LITTLE FEATHERING AT THE TOP FRONT

    THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE FRAGILE WHITE CARD SURFACE WHICH USUALLY WEARS BADLY AND STAINS EASILY, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS RETAINED  ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE SURFACE APART FROM A THIN STRIP OF AGEING ON THE OPENING EDGE. THE GOLD STEREO STICKER SITS FIRMLY IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
