THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RWHIYE AND MAUVE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY LITTLE HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
SUPERB PLAYTHROUGH FROM START TO FINISH
A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STUFF - NO TICS OR POPS
A STUNNING ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOUND THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AS CLEAR AS A BELL
THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
