Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.comTHE LABELS
THE CREAM LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO WRITING OR MARKS AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE RECORD
SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
PLUS A COUPLE OF HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES AND A TINY DULL MARK OR TWO
NOTHING FEELABLE ANYWHERE
PLAYING THE RECORD
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO HEAVY CRACKLE
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL SECOND OR TWO OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
ALL I DID HEAR WERE A FEW TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLUS SOME RANDOM TICS AND POPS ON BOTH SIDES
THEY ARE AUDIBLE MORE DURING THE FIRST HALF THAT THE SECOND
I GRADE THE AUDIO EX+ / EX
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE REAR SURFACE IS NON LAMINATED AND THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT AND APART FROM A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE ARE PERFECT
