THE RECORD
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL ORANGE LABELS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION.
THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING DENOTES THIS AS A 1969 PRESSING ALONG WITH THE LARGE STEREO WORDING AT THE TOP OF THE LABEL
THE BASE COLOUR AND BLACK LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS 3-4 VISIBLE SPIDER LINESTHE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALBUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS!!!
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. AND NO VINYL NOISE ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATICNO TICS OR POPS
IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF RUBBER SOUL THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SPINE THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE ARE TWO CREASE LINES ON RINGO'S FACE AND A SMALL ONE IN PAUL'S HAIT
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A MINUSCULE DING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT TIP AND A SPECK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIPTHE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT ON BOTH SURFACES, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. HAS THE SLIGHTLY TAPERED ENDS AND WHICH OFTEN LOSES THE LAMINATE, BUT THIS SPINE IS COMPLETELY LAMINATED AND 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A LOVELY WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST FEW BARELY VISIBLE LIGHT FOXING MOTTLES AT THE BOTTOM AND A LIGHT SHADOW OF HANDLING ON THE OPENING EDGEI AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX+
