The Vinyl

On visual inspection this vinyl looks absolutely superbe! This is the original heavier thicker type of vinyl with deeper grooves only found on these original 1st pressings!!! They are also more robust than later pressings which were more flimsier!!!! In strong light only can very light whispy lines of marks be seen Please note I can't see any needle scratches at all! Cesrtainly (no) marks that are audio sounding!  I have played this through track for track as usual and the audio is rated at the top! This is cristal clear and vibrant through out. This plays with no background noise or crackle at all with (no) signs of any distortion or that this has been overplayed!!!! I would class myself as highly critacle! Please look at my completed listings of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right!!!! Audio is graded at the top!!! You will find the audio quality on this vinyl hard to surpass!!!!!

Please note! I always make this disclaimer! Please allow for the odd static tick (not) consistant throughout the audio! Although i never heard any problems at all and have given my honest opinion, this is a genuine 35 year old vinyl (not a reissue) that would have originally been played on a 35 year old system!!!!
