THIS VINYL HAS BOTH THE RED AND PLUM MATRIX NUMBERS AND THE WARNER K MATRIX NUMBERS, INDICATING THAT THIS VINYL WAS MANUFACTURED WITH THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS PLATES AND THUS WILL HAVE THE SAME OUTSTANDING AUDIO QUALITY THAT A RED AND PLUM LABEL ISSUE WILL HAVE. ALSO NO WARNER LOGO AT 3 O'CLOCK ON THE LABEL INDICATES THE VERY FIRST ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS PRIOR TO THE CREDITS BEING ADDED
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREEN AND ORANGE LIGHTLY TEXTURED LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. AND THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE SHOWING THAT THE ALBUM HAS JUST HAD THE ONE PLAY FROM NEW
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN . IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS A MINT RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THIS SUPERB FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS PRESS IS BOTH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUDLY MIXED
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC WHATSOEVER
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE MACNEILL MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE .
THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN GREAT CONDITION DUE TO THE POROUS WHITE AND GREY SURFACE WHICH ATTRACTS DIRT AND GRIME LIKE A MAGNET. THIS ONE HAS BEEN HANDLES VERY CAREFULLY

THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY FREE FROM SHELF WEAR,INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE SHOWS THE MIST MINUSCULE SPECK OF WHITE ON THE LEFT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED . NO FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS.THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. ONE VERY TINY MARK NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE ORIGINAL POLYDOR MADE INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, AND IN CLEAN CONDITION WITH THE DATE 02/72 PRINTED ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
