THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS BUT SHOWS SOME PALE FOXING AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THIS ROCK SOLID HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED . IN DAYLIGHT THE LP IS FLAWLESS. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF THE DISC, AND EVEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, AL I SEE IS ONE VERY FINE SMALL HANDLING LINE ON THE EDGES OF SIDE ONE
A PRISTINE 1970 RECORD.
THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ENSURING THAT THE VINYL WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS. ALL OF THE QUIETEST MOMENTS ARE REPRODUCED BRILLIANTLY
'CHILD IN TIME' WHICH IS THE QUIETEST TRACK PERFORMS PERFECTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
NO FRYING BACON AND NO LOUD CLICKS TO SPOIL THIS FANTASTIC 1ST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED
I CANNOT FAULT THIS RECORD IN ANY WAY ON THE PLAYBACK
NO POPS OR CLICKS
NO BACKGROUND, NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE LINKING GROOVE TO TRACK ONE, SIDE ONE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN AMAZING CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB!!. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS ETC.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE .
ONE TINY SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
FOUR SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A DOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE MAGNIFICENT, FULLY LAMINATED AND PRISTINE OTHER THAN A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS NEAR PRISTINE. SOME LAMINATE PEEL FROM THE TOP TO ABOUT 2 INCHES DOWN. TOTALLY UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NO CREASES OR LINES. JUST ONE LAMINATE LINE ON THE SPINE, TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE THIUMB LINE ON THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECTLY CLEAN AND UNRUBBED INNER SURFACE. NO LOSS OF THE FRAGILE BLACK COLOUR AT ALL. JUST A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF HANDLING NEAR THE INNER SPINE
THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SURFACES, AND NO CREASES. A LITTLE GLE AGEING TO THE EDGES
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
