THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE DUAL ORANGE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AND ONE DULL EMBEDDED NON SOUNDING STREAK LINE ON SIDE ONE
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THIS DISC PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO CRACKLE, CLICKS OR POPS
NO TICS ANYWHERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM SHOREWOOD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE COLOURED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.
ONE VERY LIGHT CREASE LINE OVER THE TOP LEFT CORNER
NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO A COUPLE
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS SOME MILD RUBBING TO THE SURFACE
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE HAS A SMALL BROWN SCUFF JUST UNDER THE CBS WORDING AT THE TOP. LIGHTLY AGED BUT PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS REMAINED IN THE BARELY PLAYED STATE THAT IT IS
THE REAR SURFACE HAS THE GOLD PROMO STAMP IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, AND A LITTLE HANDLING SIGNS TO THE EDGES
THE PLAIN INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO PERFECT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EX++
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
