THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK TEXTURED LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT.
MAGNIFICENT HEAVYWEIGHT ALBUM
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT. WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FEINT DULL EMBEDDED LINES
THE TEST PLAY
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS SCARCE ALBUM
THE STEREO AUDIO IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. LOUD AND POWERFUL AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHICH INDICATES NO GROOVE WEAR
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO CRACKLE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT OR NEAR SILENT WITH A COUPLE HAVING A TINY SPECK OF LOW LEVEL VINYL NOISE
THIS IS TRULY A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM
A FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN WITH PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS
HARD TO FIND A TEXTURED SLEEVE OF THIS AGE THAT HAS NOT SUFFERED RUB, BUT THIS ONE IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT
NO RING WEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL VERY SQUARE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. PERFECT COLOURS ALL THE WAY OVER, WITH JUST THE LEFT CORNER TIPS SHOWING A DOT OF RUB
THE FRONT BOTTOM EDGE IS AS PERFECT AS THE TOP EDHES. THE REAR BOTTOM EDGE AT FIRST GLANCE LOOKS TO BE SEVERELY RUBBED FROM HALF WAY ACROSS TO THE RIGHT TIP. UPON FURTEHR INSPECTION HOWEVER SOME OFI T IS THE BOTTOM OF THE WHITE JACKET. THERE STILL SOME RUB THERE ALONGSIDE THIS
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING, THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDNS HAVE SOME RUB AND THE TYPEFACE ABOVE THE BOTTOM END ALSO HAS SOME RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS OUTSTANDING AS THE FRONT. USUALLY HERE YOU WOULD SEE RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE BUT THERE IS NONE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, AND NO CREASES
THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
