THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. SIDE 1 HAS A SMALL BLISTER ON THE LEFT SIDE WHERE A STICKER ONCE SAT. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE YELLOW DJM LOGO IS UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I DON'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD LOOK PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR. CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS
THIS LP HAS JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO STATIC TICS WHATSOEVER DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
