DEL AMITRI - WAKING HOURS
EX+ AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE SILVER LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY IT
THE VINYL
THE DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES,AND A COUPLE OF FINE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE TWO
THE TEST PLAY
THIS 1ST PRESS ALBUM PLAYS VERY CLEANLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
ALL I HEARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE LP WERE A FEW TINY SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A AND FEW LITTLE TICS, NOTABLY ON SIDE TWO THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT ROTATIONAL ONES DURING ONE TRACK
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX+

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS.
THERE ARE TWO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
