CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LIJNES ON EAITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE.

PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINSH SO THAT AS A POTENTIAL BIDDER YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THEN EXACT RECORD BEFORE DECIDING
THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM THAT FINDING ONE WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE, BUT HERE IS A COPY THAT IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY
THIS VINYL PERFORMS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WANT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD TICS OR POPS
NO STATIC EITHER
NO DUST POPS AND ONLY A COUPLE OF STATIC LIKE TICS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO HEAR FOR YOURSELF
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MINT
