A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS 2-3  SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS MARVELLOUS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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 MONO 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 IN SOME  OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY STATIC TICS 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, UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES TO THE LAMINATE OR ANY BENDS. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE.

THERE ARE TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.

THE LAMINATE ITSELF IS FREE FROM ANY PEELING OR FLAKING, OR LIFT

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE FULL UNSCUFFED LAMINATE ALONG BOTH SURFACES. THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS OF THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FULLY LAMINATED. THERE ARE NO SQUASHING OR FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE FRAGILE POROUS WHITE CARD SURFACE WHICH USUALLY WEARS BADLY AND STAINS EASILY, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE SURFACE WITH JUST AN ALMOST INVISIBLE SPECK OF HANDLING TO THE EDGES , AND A LITTLE MOTTLING IN THE TOP RIGHT AREA

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASES, AND A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT !!!

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