THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS. STUNNING GLOSSY SURFACE FREE FROM ANY IMPERFECTIONS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT ONE FINE HANDLING LINE ON THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE ONE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PSUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL BIT OF VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE PRISTINE AND THERE IS NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR TO THIS SURFACE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE BOTH IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TOP TIP, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS.
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE LIGHT RUB ON THE REAR SURFACE
THE SPINE HAS A TINY SQUASH IN THE MIDDLE. THE COLOURS ARE TYPEFACE ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT. IN ABSOLUTELY TOP CONDITION
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT BUT DOES HAVE SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
