THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE ARE 1-2 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER AM LED MAGNIFYING HALO
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A FEW ROTATIONS
I HEARD NO DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
THIS UNPLAYED ALBUM HAS THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE OF MINTBUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATELY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS BEEN STORED UPRIGHT A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN THE SPINE IS 100% FREE OF EVEN PRESSURE LINES. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE AND NO FADING OF THE COLOURS. THE BLACK BORDER IS SUBLIME
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGES ARE PERFECT. FULLY COLOURED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR FADING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE AND BOTH ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACEHAS ONE THUMB LINES AND A COUPLE OF EDGE PRESSURE LINES ONLY
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS. ALSO THE GATEFOLD WON'T OPEN FLAT SHOWING THAT IT HAS REMAINED IN A CLOSE POSITION ALL OF ITS LIFE
THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. JUST PERFECT IN FACT
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO YELLOWING OR THE PURE WHITE SURFACE.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
