THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THERE IS NOT ONE SECOND OF DISTORTION TO THIS AMAZING SOUND, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS BACKGROUND
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT OR NEAR SILENT
THERE IS THE ODD SPECKLE OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF STATIC TICS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE FROM BEGINNING TO END
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT, FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN SO THAT YOU CAN GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
