THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, BOTH COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED WITH THE WHITE SECTION REMAINING 'WHITE' AND THE PURPLE UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFIYING LED HALO I ONLY SEE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM TINY SPECKS OF BACKGROUND STATIC, EVEN BETWEEN THE TRACKS
I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I HEARD ANY DUST POPS EITHER
A VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUNDING 1ST PRESS OF THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM
THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT, AND SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS UNPLAYED?? VINYL
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FLIMSY NON LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS
THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF RUBBING, AND PARTICULARLY NO RING WEAR.THERE IS THE BAREST IMPRESSION OF RECORD SHAPE ONLY IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT.
THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONEALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A DOT OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP.
THIS IS ALSO A FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE DENOTED BY THE SPINE WORDING APPEARING ALONG THE TOP EDGE AS WELL AS THE SPINE
THE SPINE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IT IS A VERY THIN SPINE, BUT EVEN SO IT'S UNSQUASHED. JUST THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW A SPECK OF RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE, AGAIN WITH JUST THAT VERY LIGHT RECORD SHAPE I
THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, AND STILL VERY WHITE AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST SOME AGEING TO THE SEAMS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
