THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK/SILVER LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS AND FULLY RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE REDTYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE 2-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT A FEW TINY HAIRLINES AND A LITTLE DULL EMBEDDED STREAKING
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL BIT OF VERY LIGHT STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
