THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINE BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT. JUST ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
SIDE TWO HAS SOME VERY LIGHT LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND BEHIND THE MUSIC, AUDIBLE ONLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS
THERE ARE A FEW OF THE TINIEST SPECKLES OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND OVER THE COMPLETE PLAYTHROUGH
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT / EX+ STANDARD.
