THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS JUST 4-5 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
GLEAMING FIST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE INCREDIBLE LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION. CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION
THERE ARE NO POPS OR TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AFTER HAVING A THOROUGH LISTEN TO IT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN THE UK IN TWO DIFFERENT SLEEVES. ONE MADE BY HOWEARDS IN THE UK, AND THE SECOND WAS A US PRINTED SLEEVE, WHICH HAD BOTH THE US AND THE UK CATALOGUE NUMBERS PRINTED ON IT. BOTH ARE 1ST ISSUE SLEEVES
THIS ONE IS THE US PRINTED SLEEVE
YOU WILL NEVER FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE ANYWHERE!
THE WEAR POINTS ON THIS SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY MAKES A SHABBY EXAMPLE ARE THE FLIMSY EDGES TO THE FLAPS AND THE TOP OPENING EDGE WHICH RUBS BADLY. HERE HOWEVER DUE TO THE SLEEVE BEING PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE, WE HAVE A MINT EXAMPLE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS NON LAMINATED MATTE SLEEVE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE. NO RUB AND NO COLOUR FADE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES WHATSOEVER ON THIS SURFACE EITHER, , AND ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES AGAINST ANY OF THE EDGES.
THIS IS A TOP OPENING SLEEVE WITH A FRONT AND BACK SURFACE HINGED TO THE TOP EDGE, MAKING IT LOOK MORE LIKE A CALENDAR THAN A RECORD ALBUM. THE TOP EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND FREE OF ANY RUBBING. THE TYPEFACE ON THE SPINE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE AREA THAT THE LP SLIDES INTO IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME SUPER CONDITION. OPENING THE FRONT FLAP REVEALS THE STADIUM SHOTS AND AGAIN WE HAVE A PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED PAIR OF SURFACES.
THE REAR FLAP WHEN OPENED REVEALS THE GOALMOUTH SCENE AND YET AGAIN IT IS ALL IN MINT CONDITION.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN PERFECT CONFITION
A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A MINT GRADE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
