THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND GOLD LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE MAGENTA TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE HOLE
ON SIDE TWO THERE IS A NAME INKED CAREFULLY AT THE TOP OF THE LABEL AND THE WORD' HIS' HAS A LITTLE RUBBING
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS PERFECT. A MINT RECORD
I CANNOT BEGIN TO SAY HOW TRULY PERFECT THIS RECORD LOOKS. I SAY IT LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS
NO WISPY HAIRLINES WHATSOEVER. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE EXAMPLE
YOU WILL NEVER EVER FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT
A FEW RANDOM TINY SPECKLES OF STATIC BUT THAT'S ALL, BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW MANY SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES THERE ARE ON ANY CLASSICAL ALBUM. YOU WILL APPRECIATE JUST HOW OUTSTANDING THIS COPY IS
I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD A CLEANER EXAMPLE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE. NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE WITH FLIPBACKS
'GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE' PATENTS PENDING
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUB FREE. AND THE LAMINATE IS TRULY UNBLEMISHED AND VERY GLOSSY
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS AND LAMINATE RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE. JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN THE SAME LOVELY CONDITION
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. PRISTINE LAMINATE AND TYPEFACE, JUST A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A FEW TMES
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS.
THE WHITE SURFACE HAS A LITTLE HANDLINF TO THE OPENING EDGE AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT MARKS JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE
THE POLY LINED ADVERTISING HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, JUST A FEW CORNER CREASE LINES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
