THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM ISLAND LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION
DEEP RICH COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
PRISTINE BLACK TEXT
JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
GLEAMING PRISTINE RECORD
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A STUNNING CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO THAT IS LOUD AND POWERFUL
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL, AND THIS MEANS NO GROOVE WEAR.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS A VERY TINY BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, IT IS VERY LOW LEVEL AND BARELY AUDIBLE
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY TICS OR POPS WHATSOEVER DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THE QUIET TRACKS ARE JUST OUTSTANDING
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL COPY OF ANGEL DELIGHT AND WOULD BE EXTREMELY HARD TO UPGRADE FROM
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
