THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,
THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY I CAN'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE LP HAS BEEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF EITHER SIDE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT LOOKS PRISTINE. NO HAIRLINES
CLEARLY THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY PLAYED IN THE LAST 54 YEARS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS.
SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AND A DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE. NO DISTORTION TO THE AUDIO, WHICH MEANS NO GROOVE WEAR. NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND AT ALL APART FROM A LITTLE VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE STUFF IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM E,J,DAY
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS IN THE CENTRE
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A DOT OF RUB TO THE ENDS
TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN,. PERFECTLY SMOOTH WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. PERFECT TEXT AND UNBLEMISHED TAPERED ENDS,
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. A SMALL SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
