    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE CLEAN WITH A TINY BROWN MARK VISIBLE TO THE LEFT OF THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE TWO

    THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

    THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

    THE VINYL

    THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, I SEE ONE ANGEL HAIRLINE WISPY LINE

    THE TEST PLAY

    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

    THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

    THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

    THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

    ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT 

    NO TICS OR POPS

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  MINT  FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

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

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    MATTE BUT SLIGHTLY GLOSSY ,DELICATE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE .

    THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE  POWDERY SURFACE.AND MOST I HAVE SEEN HAVE LARGE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE. THIS ONE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND  CLEAN APART FROM A THIN SLIVER OF GRIME JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. NO FADING EITHER

    THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER , AND INCREDIBLY JUST TWO MINUSCULE  PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE.

    TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    THE TWP LEFT CORNER TIPS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS

    THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP

    THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

    THE SPINE  IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.  NO COLOUR LOSS AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A TINY SPECK OF RUB. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

    THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS

    THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION  TWO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,AND TWO ON THE TOP EDGE. ONE TINY WHITE MARK ON AGUS'S ARM

    THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT, UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION

     I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

     

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