A BARELY PLAYED ORIGINAL PRESS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS, THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
A SUPERB ORIGINAL ALBUM IN AMAZING CONDITION
NO DULLING AND NO MARKS ANYWHERE
THE TEST PLAY
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH
THIS RARE MONO RECORDING PLAYS PERFECTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION.
THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE VERY ODD LITTLE SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
THIS IS SO MINOR IT IS HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM THE CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN MONAURAL SOUND OF THIS VINYL
THERE ARE NO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC LIKE TICS
THIS LP EASILY PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS STANDARD
SO TAKE A LISTEN AND CHECK IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE WITH A INCREDIBLE SPINE WHICH IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF, BECAUSE THIS SLEEVE ALWAYS GETS DAMAGED ON THE SPINE
THE SLEEVE IS A LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM THE E.J.DAY CO.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS SO SHINY AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THE MAIN BODY OF THE FRONT IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THE LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES ON THE SPINE
TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE EITHER.
THE CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND HAVE NO RUB ON THE TIP ENDS
JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER. THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION.ONLY THE VERY TIP ENDS OF THE FRONT RIGHT CORNERS HAVE A SMALL SPECK OF RUB
THE SPINE IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM TIP END SHOWS A LITTLE SPECK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES AND JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE LINES AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS. NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF THE BLACK COLOURS WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF THE LIGHTEST TINIEST FOXING MOTTLES, BUT THIS HARDLY IMPACTS THE IMAGE
THE ORANGE 2 PAGE LYRIC INSERT IS IN AS NEW CONDITION. USUALLY FOUND RIPPED AND BADLY CREASED, THIS COPY IS TOTALLY INTACT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES,
A RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
