THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE YELLOW DJM LOGO IS UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS ONLY EVER HAD A COUPLE OF TRIPS ROUND A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOKKS PERFECT.
RED TRANSLUCENT IN BRIGHT LIGHTTHE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND EITHER AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS HAD, WE COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
NO POPS OR TICS AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAY
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
