THELABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION . THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE BARELY WORN SPINDLE HOLE.IT IS DEEP IN COLOUR . THIS HAS MOST CERTAINLY NOT BEEN ON AN AUTOCHANGER
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE BETWEEN 10-15 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES TO BE SEEN IN THIS LIGHT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES. WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE NUMEROUS SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON BOTH SIDES. I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE THAT SHOWS ONE SIDE. MOST OF THEM ARE SUPERFICIAL
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE 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.
THIS MONO RECORD PLAYS REALLY WELL THROUGH OUT BOTH SIDES
THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF LISTENING TO THIS RECORD IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GROOVE WEAR WHATSOEVER. MANY RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON A PLAYER THAT HAD A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS, AND THIS EVENTUALLY CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE GROOVE AND CAN BE HEARD AS A HISS OR LIGHT CRACKLE ALL THROUGH THE PLAYING. I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THIS RECORD HAS ABSOLUTELY NONE AT ALL. A PERFECT DAMAGE FREE AUDIO ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
DESPITE THE MANY SURFACE LINES ON THE RECORD THE RECORD STILL PLAYS WITH FEW FAULTS
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL, ANYWHERE, AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS.
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT STICKING OR JUMPING
YOU WILL HEAR SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND SOME LINKING GROOVES, PLUS THERE ARE NUMEROUS LITTLE TICS AND POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
SO I WOULD SUGGEST SITTING BACK AND HAVING A LISTEN TO THE WHOLE RECORD AND JUDGING IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS.
I BELIEVE IT GRADES AROUND THE VG+ MARK FOR THE AUDIO
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL SLEEVE THAT GRADES VG. I HAVE TAKEN MANY PICTURES THAT SHOW THE CONDITION
