The World Is Yours
LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, bright and unmarked labels with just a few spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
The surfaces display light hairlines/brush marks under bright light but none of these superficial marks have any audio impact - the record sounds great
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT++
Outstanding sound to this first pressing - crystal clear, rich and finely detailed - a superb Decca cut.
My play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio distractions of any kind and the record plays beautifully throughout. There are one or two very light patches of surface on one or two of the quietest moments (extremely minor and nothing I found at all intrusive) otherwise, the sound is exceptionally clean - lovely copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean and unmarked with some general light rubbing to the edges/corners and a strong spine where all text is clear and bold. The colours to the cartoon illustration on the inner gatefold are bright and vivid. Overall, an excellent example
DECCA INNER: EXCELLENT++
Very clean and white with no seam splits
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
