THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT WEAR, ONE TINY SCUFF MARK TO THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE NEAR THE TOP EDGE AND ANOTHER TO THE SPINE. THERE IS A HINT OF SOME MINOR TANNING TO THE BACK. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THE RECORD AND CAN REPORT THE FOLLOWING: DURING SIDE ONE I HEARD LOTS OF CLICKS, POPS AND TICKS. AT ONE POINT THERE WERE APPROX 20 REPEATING CLICKS, AT ANOTHER TIME APPROXIMATELY 10 REPEATING CLICKS. WHILST THIS OBVIOUSLY DETRACTED FROM THE ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC THE SOUND QUALITY OTHERWISE WAS EXCELLENT WITH ONLY A TRACE OF BACKGROUND SURFACE NOISE. THE SOUND QUALITY DURING SIDE TWO WAS MUCH BETTER AND OVER THE WHOLE SIDE I NOTED APPROXIMATELY HALF A DOZEN CLICKS AND SOME VERY MINOR BACKGROUND SURFACE NOISE. A FLAWED MASTERPIECE!!

THE LABELS

THE BLACK & SILVER CAPITOL LABELS, WITH ”FDS” LOGOS AND RAINBOW COLOURED RIMS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS AT ALL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.
