THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BUTTERFLY LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT, JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION THROUGHOUT
THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE STUFF IN A FEW RANDOM LINKING GROOVES AND SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM MINOR LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE EX+ STANDARD
