THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGIFICENT CONDITION . THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.IT IS DEEP IN COLOUR AND HAS NO WHITE FLECKS LIKE SOME DO
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. I COUNT TWO TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
A VERY GLOSSY CONDITION VINYL THAT HAS RETAINED EVERY BIT OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS TOTALLY PERFECT IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS MAGNIFICENT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST WISPIEST HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING THAT IS APPARENT IS THE INCREDIBLE STEREO MIX. A CLARITY OF SOUND THAT YOU ONLY EVER GOT ON THESE EARLIEST OF BEATLES PRESSINGS.
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE ON ANY TRACK OR ANY OF THE LINKING GROOVES. EVEN THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN GET A BETTER AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAN THIS
ANDF ALL THAT STOPS ME FROM GRADING THE AUDIO A FULL MINT ARE A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
NO DUST POPS OR TICS ANYWHERE
SO I GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SINGLE SLEEVE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE OR CREASE LINE ON IT ANYWHERE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL NICELY SQUARE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
THERE ARE JUST TWO VERY SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. TWO EQUALLY MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED AND ONLY THE CORNER TIPS SHOWS A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS.
THE SPINE IS NEAR PERFECT TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFETLY INTACT APART FROM A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO EACH END TIP, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE!
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A LITTLE FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECT FLIPBACKS
EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT.
SOME MILD HANDLING TO THE EDGES
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
