THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. WHICH FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE - NO RUBBING
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS LITTLE PLAY
A STARND OF RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE AND ALSO ANOTHER ON THE OUTER RIM OF THE VINYL
THE RECORD
SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES
OTHER THAN THIS IT IS VISUALLY PERFECT. STILL GLEAMING AND MARK FREE.
TRULY A FANTASTIC BARELY PLAYED RECORD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO SKIPS OR STICKS OR JUMPS
SUPERB CLEAR VOCALS AND EVERY NOTE HEARD HOW IT WAS INTENDED
SIDE ONE PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

I ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS / NEAR MINT
