THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CREAMY WHITE SURFACE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST ONE ABSOLUTELY MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 53 YEARS. THE BROWN LOGO'S ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE. SUPERB RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE MINIMAL PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP. THERE IS NOT NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT THROUGH THE QUIET PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE DUST TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED AND STIFF CARDED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH FLAPS
AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPERB CARTOON SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.
MOST COPIES OF THIS SLEEVE HAS RUBBING AND FINGER MARKS TO THE PASTEL BLUE AREA AT THE TOP BUT THIS ONE HAS ABSOLUTELY NONE AT ALL
IN ADDITION THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE AND NONE ON THE OTHER EDGES EITHER
THIS SLEEVE HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW BECAUSE THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE MINT. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER. THE RIGHT EDGE WHICH SERVES AS THE OTHER SEALED EDGE IS ALSO IN MINT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK TYPEFACE IS AND 100% UNSQUASHED. NO WEAR TO THE TIPS EITHER
THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE IN 1972. TWO MICROSCOPIC THUMB NAIL NICKS ARE BARELY VISIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. NOT EVEN ANY OF THE LITTLE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS. GLORIOUS RICH COLOURS AND AT THE BOTTOM THE TWO FOLD OUT FLAPS HAVE INCREDIBLY STIFF HINGES, MEANING THAT THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN OPENED VERY OFTEN TO BE IN THIS SUPERB SHAPE
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
