    THE RECORDS


     

    THE LABELS

    THE CREAMY WHITE SURFACES ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 1-2 MICROSCOPIC  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLES  , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 51 YEARS. THE BROWN LOGO'S ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

     

    THE VINYL

    SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISCS GLEAM AND ARE FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE. SUPERB RECORDS

    THE TEST PLAY

    DISC ONE

    THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE MINIMAL PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP. THERE IS NOT NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

    THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD AT THE START OF SIDE ONE AND RANDOMLY FOR A FEW SECONDS DURING THE PLAY
    ONE OR TWO OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STAIC DUST TICS

    DISC TWO

    PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION THROUGH BOTH SIDES

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT / MINT

     

    PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    FULLY LAMINATED (INSIDE AND OUTSIDE) GATEFOLD SLEEVE

    THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO LAMINATE FLAKE. PERFECT COLOUR THAT IS UNFADED AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS

    THE TOP OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND LOOK AS GOOD AS THE DAY THE SLEEVE WAS MADE IN 1974. 

    THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS. GLORIOUS RICH COLOURS AND PERFECT GLEAMING LAMINATE. ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE BY THE RIGHT OPENING EDGE
