ALL OF THE ALBUMS THAT I AM LISTING THAT HAVE THE TINY STICKER IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER ARE FROM THE SAME COLLECTION. OVER 90% OF THE COLLECTION WERE NEVER PLAYED. THEY BELONGED TO A RADIO DJ WHO WAS GIVEN THEM WHICH IS WHY MANY ARE PROMO COPIES. THEY WERE NOT STORED AT THE RADIO STATION THEY WERE STORED AT HIS HOME
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BEIGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. UNMARKED DEEP COLOUR, NO DISCOLOURING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUMS HAVING RETAINED ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO THEY STILL LOOK SUPERB WITH JUST A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISEWHAT I HEARD WAS SOME OCCASIONAL AND RANDOM LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS ON EACH SIDE AND THE ODD LITTLE SPECK OF VERY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND
VERY ODD BECAUSE THE PLAYING SURFACES LOOK PERFECT
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO EX+
TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
