THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PINK SCROLL LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE VINYL
A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY FEINT AND LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES ON THE SURFACE
THE TEST PLAY
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THERE IS NOT ONE SECOND OF DISTORTION TO THIS AMAZING SOUND, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SILENCE BETWEEN THE TRACKS
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE RECORDING IS A VERY LOUD STEREO CUT AND IS REPRODUCED SUPERBLY, SO PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS GREAT ALBUM FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS, FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN SO THAT YOU CAN GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
