THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE 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 ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE 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
UNDER A BANK OF SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE SOME EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS IN THE VINYL - THESE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
A FEW BARELY VISIBLE TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUM
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
RARE TO FIND A COPY OF THIS THAT PLAYS SO INCREDIBLY WELL
I HEARD TWO LIGHT TICS AS SIDE ONE STARTED AND THE REST OF THE SIDE PLAYED TO PERFECTION
SIDE TWO IS ALSO AUDIBLY NEAR PERFECT, JUST A COUPLE OF THE LIGHTEST STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE SIDE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
CLEAN MAGNIFICENT AUDIO THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES
THE SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC ARE OUTSTANDING
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE THAT PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT STANDARD.
