THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS.THE PARLOPHONE SIDE HAS A PERFECT DARK BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WITH THE GOLD LETTERING BEING PRISTINE, UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE WHITE SIDE IS VERY WHITE, AGAIN WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE.
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERBLY GLOSSY AS NEW DISC WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND LOOK FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER IA MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT
THE 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 CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD HOW IT WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STAGGERING. A LOUD AND VERY POWERFUL STEREO REPRODUCTION, WITH EVERY NOTE AS CLEAR AS A BELL.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT
NO STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT

THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING OR FADING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND THUS THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS.
