THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 54 YEARS. IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE THE VINYL HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED IT LOOKS THAT GOOD
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE A TRUE MINT RECORD IN EVERY WAY
THE TEST PLAYS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.MEANING THAT ANY PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO STATIC AT ALL
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
YOU WILL NEVER FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED E.J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE TINY ONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE IS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THE FORU CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ARE PRISTINE. FULLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION
THE SPINE IS ALSO MINT. ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP UNMOLESTED CONDITION. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND JUST ONE PRESSURE BY THE SPINE, AND ONE SMALL THUMB LINE BY THE OPENING EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN UNMARKED PAIR OF INNER PANELS, WITH AN ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING SURFACE
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
