THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE CREAM COLOURED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS TWO SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER,
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, CLEAN AUDIO AND ONLY THE ODD RANDOM SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A FEW LITTLE STATIC TICS
SO A BARELY PLAYED LP THAT HAS AN AUDIO GRADE OF NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS SUPERB UNRUBBED COLOURS AND PRISTINE LAMINATE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS FLAT , HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE AND LAMINATE. A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE PANELS
