STAMPERS GR 1 GD 1
THE BLACK AND GOLD PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE APPEARS TO BE NO MORE THAN TWO OR THREE VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND ALL THE GOLD LETTERING IS STILL CRISP AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING MARKS E.T.C. THE LABELS HAVE NOT SUFFERED FROM ANY FADING OR RUBBING.
THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS EXCELLENT, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT WISPY SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD NEEDLE/HAIRLINE MARK NONE ARE FEELABLE OR SEVERE AND THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL COPES VERY WELL WITH THIS. VISUALLY THIS LOOKS VERY VERY APPEALING. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING E.T.C AND WHEN PLAYED THERE IS NO NEEDLE LIFT.
AUDIO IS SUPERB.... BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND SOME TRACK GROOVES DISPLAY SOME MILD CRACKLE BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT SPOILS THE MONO SOUND. THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGHOUT WITHOUT ANY POPS, STICKS OR JUMPS.... THIS REALLY DOES PLAY SUPERBLY AND THE AUDIO IS CLEAR AND CRISP AND A REAL JOY TO LISTEN TO.
THE ORIGINAL, THICK, HEAVIER WEIGHT EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.
THE OUTER E.J DAY SLEEVE 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE (WITH ANGUS MCBEAN CREDIT TO FAR RIGHT) IS REALLY EXCELLENT GIVEN ITS AGE. IT DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT CREASING TO THE FRONT BOTTOM AND SOME EXPECTED CORNER AND EDGE WEAR BUT THE FRONT PANEL IS VERY BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO LAMINATE DAMAGE. THE REAR IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND WHITE. THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY RIGID WITH NO WEAR AND ALL WORDING IS STILL READABLE. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.
OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS UK MONO BLACK AND GOLD PRESSING
