PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE - UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY
1ST PRESS 1967 - PRESIDENT
SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT
ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS ONE VISIBLE SPIDER LINE BY IT ON ONE SID EONLY
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS SUPERB, JUST ONE TINY DULL AND TOTYALLY NON SOUNDING MARK ON THE 2ND LAST TRACK SIDE ONE, AND ONE NON SOUNDING FINE HANDLING LINE
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY . THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS NEAR SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, SKIPS STICKS OR JUMPS
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO MORE THAN A FEW TINY DUST TICS OR POPS AT ALL
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS

THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO PEEL OR FLAKE, JUST A FINGERNAIL OF LIFT IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
NO CREASES, OR CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
AN IMMACULATE EXAMPLE
ONETINY PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE AT THE BOTTOM
ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. ONE THUM LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A DOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND LAMINATED. IMMACULATE WITH JUST A DOT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH ENDS ARE PRISTINE. NO COLOUR FADE AT ALL AND IT MATCHES THE FRONT AND BACK PERFECTLY
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS PRISTINE AS THE FRONT. PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL PURE WHITE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
