THE SLEEVE
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CONDITION. LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE THAT IS JUST AWESOME. NO CREASES AT ALL, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NO EDGE WEAR TO EITHER THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM, AND THE SPINE IS JUST PERFECT. THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT SAYS THAT THIS LP WAS ONLY EVER CAREFULLY REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE.
THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECT, AND THE WHITE REAR SURFACE IS VERY VERY WHITE.
NO PEN MARKS, STAINS OR ANY NASTY MARKS AT ALL.
THIS SLEEVE IS WITHOUT DOUBT NEAR MINT CONDITION
THE LABELS
STUNNING NEAR PERFECT EXAMPLES. NO MARKS, NO SPINDLEHOLE WEAR AND JUST ONE REALLY TINY SPIDER LINES TO INDICATE JUST HOW FEW PLAYS THIS MAGNIFICENT LP HAS ACTUALLY HAD. PROBABLY FEWER THAN THREE PLAYS LIFETIME
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND THERE ARE JUST NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE SURFACE OF EITHER SIDE. EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF LIGHT WISPS.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RECORD REVEALS A SILENT RUN IN LEADING INTO GLAD ALL OVER. CRISP AS YOU LIKE, SOLID DISTORTION FREE MONO SOUND THAT AGAIN SHOWS EXACTLY HOW THIS RECORD HAS BEEN TREATED. NO BACKGROUND NOISE, NO CLICK, POPS ETC. IF YOU WENT BACK IN TIME TO 1966 AND GOT A COPY IT COULD NOT BE IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THIS ONE.
THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE HIGHEST GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT CAN BE OFFERED, AND WILL NEVER EVER NEED UPGRADING
