THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN, THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE HARVEST LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE . THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE VISIBLE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS MINT
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT. NO HAIRLINES WISPY OR OTHERWISE AND STILL VERY GLOSSY AND UNMARKED
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE AUDIO IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. THE STEREO SOUND IS LOUD AND CLEAR AND DEFINITELY FIRST PRESS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER
NO LIGHT BACKGROUND EITHER
NO CLICKS TICS OR POPS AND THE LINKING FROOVES ARE SILENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE AUDIO
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
