THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED OR UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW WITH AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS SHEEN, AND LOOKS TOTALLY MINT
AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS 100% MINT
THE TEST PLAY
A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR.
THE RECORD PLAYS TO PERFECTION
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NO CLICKS OR STICK OR JUMPS
