    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .

    THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS A VERY TINY BIT OF EDGE RUB ON SIDE  TWO.
    THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

    THE VINYL

     REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC.

    IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS ONE VERY FINE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE TO BE SEEN ON SIDE 2. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I SEE A FEW SMALL ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES.

    PLAYING THE RECORD

    THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS A CRISP CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION. THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE NOTES OR VOCALS.

    NO GROOVE WEAR AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

    NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS OR ANY LOUD NOISES WHATSOEVER

    ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WAS A LITTLE SPORADIC STATIC LIKE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, BUT HARDLY ANYTHING AT ALL REALLY

    THERE ARE ALSO A SMALL AMOUNT OF RANDOM TINY LITTLE DULL TICS SPREAD OVER THE TWO SIODES. AGAIN THIS IS NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL AUDIO CLARITY

    I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO VERY CLOSE TO NEAR MINT

    BUT I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE, SO TAKE A LISTEN

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE. THIS SLEEVE IS IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION

    GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SINGLE SLEEVE

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY GLOSSY. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE.NOR ARE THERE ANY SMALL CREASE LINES, OR EVEN THUMB NAIL LINES .

    THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

    NO LAMINATE LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE. A PERFECTLY GLOSS WHITE AND BLACK SURFACE.  NO YELLOWING

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT. ONE PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

    THE TAPERED ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

    THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH JUST A TINY SPECK OF SERRATION

    THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY STUCK DOWN FLIPBACKS AND THEY ARE ALSO PERFECTLY CLEAN.

    THE VULNERABLE UNLAMINATED POWDERY BLACK SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. OFTEN FOUND RUBBED THROUGH TO THE WHITE SURFACE, THIS ONE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AND IS IMMACULATE. THERE IS THE LIGHTEST SMALL SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

     

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

     

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
