THE RECORD
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE MAUVE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE ABSOLUTE BEST EXAMPLE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THE ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
HAILING FROM 1971 THIS ALBUM COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SUBJECTED TO A 60'S RECORD PLAYER WITH ITS ULTRA HEAVY TONE ARM, PLUS ANY WEAR TO THE NEEDLE WOULD HAVE CAUSED GROOVE WEAR, WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN DETERIORATION OF THE AUDIO SIGNAL.
THANKFULLY THIS ALBUM'S ONLY PLAY WAS PERFORMED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOUR SELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS PRINTERS
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB!!.
THE COLOURS ARE JUST PERFECT. NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER OTHER THAN A LIGHT GREEN HUE BY THE SPINE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE MAGNIFICENT, FULLY COLOUREDF AND ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE IS IMMACULATE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TIP TO TIP, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS REMAIN UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH A LITTLE FEATHERING IN THE MIDDLE
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST SUPERBAS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR LINES. AND NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND NONE ON THE OTHER EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECTLY CLEAN AND UNRUBBED INNER SURFACE. NO LOSS OF THE FRAGILE COLOUR AT ALL. A FEW LITTLE MARKS IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE CORRECT POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES JUST SOME EDGE AGEING. THE DATE 06/71 IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
