THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING THAST THE RECORD HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY PLAYED
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE LABELS ARE UNIQUE IN THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENT FONT STYLE ON EACH SIDE
SANS SERIFF AND TIMES NEW ROMAN
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS MINT. FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I CAN SEE ARE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES NEAR THE OUTER EDGE OF SIDE ONE. TOTALLY NON SOUNDING OF COURSE, AND INVISIBLE IN NORMAL LIGHT
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE IS JUST INCREDIBLE. TOTALLY FIRST PRESS SOUND
EVEN THE VULNERABLE 'MICHELLE' HAS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF STATIC
PERFECT AUDIO THROUGHOUT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES HAVING THE MOST MINIMAL SPECK OF STATIC
I HEARD ONE TINY DUST POP ON SIDE TWO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS IN 'AS NEW' CONDITION
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.
THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS REMAINED UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS MINT. FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT IN EVER WAY. THE TAPERED ENDS ARE ALSO UNBLEMISHED AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP WITH AND FREE FROM ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS INCREDIBLY WHITE. THIS IS VERY VERY RARE. AS MOST ARE HEAVILY SOILED. IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE USUAL HANDLING SIGNS VISIBLE. ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY STUCK IN PLACE, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE BLACK SURFACES AT ALL
THE ORIGINAL GREASEPROOF PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY UNSPLIT CONDITION, NO CREASES AND STILL PERFECTLY WHITE, JUST A LITTLE RECORD OUTLINE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT!!!
IT IS JUST THAT GOOD!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
