THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LIGHT BROWN RSO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
A MAGNIFICENT SET OF LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING VINYL, LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST AND WISPIEST HAIRLINES VISIBLE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOT E HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THERE IS THE BAREST SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES IF AT ALL.
I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS AUDIO GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE
