THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, . THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON DISC ONE AND JUST ONE ON DISC TWO, TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN THE 48 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED
THE VINYL
BOTH DISCS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL. THEY BOTH GLEAM LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN.
THE TEST PLAY
THE RECORDS PLAY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND SOUND MAGNFICENT
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
BOTH DISCS PLAY WITHOUT ANY TICS OR POPS
ALL I HEARD WERE 2-3 TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I AM HAPPY TO MAKE THE OVERALL GRADING NEAR MINT
TAKE A VERY GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
