WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM WHICH HAS A HEAVIER PICK UP THAN TODAYS MORE MODERN SYSTEM SO YOU COULD GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
SLEEVES ON WHITE ALBUMS ARE USUALLY A GOOD INDICATOR OF WHAT IS INSIDE BUT THESE RECORDS HAVE BEEN PLAYED OVER THE YEARS AND ITS HARD TO TELL CONDITION FROM PHOTOGRAPHS
