LABELS ARE SIMILARILY BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH AN UNWORN CENTRE HOLE ,THE RAISED KT TAX CODE IS ALSO UNWORN AND STILL BLACK IN COLOUR ,THERE ARE SPINDLE MARKS BUT THEY ARE LIGHT AND CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES
ON PLAYING THE RECORD THE AUDIO WAS REFLECTIVE OF THIS CONDITION AND CAME WITH QUIET RUN INS , SPACES AND CLEAN SOUND
WE PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI FOR REVIEW SO YOU CAN GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE ON MORE MODERN EQUIPMENT AND PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THIS RECORD WAS PRESSED 58 YEARS AGO AND PRESSING PLANTS WERE NOT OF TODAYS HIGHER STANDARDS
