THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE GREEN AND BLUE BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3  SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN . IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT OCCASIONAL EMBEDDED STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT MINUS    IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS.
