I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system, the audio is awesome!
Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with NO distortion or any signs of groove wear at all !!!!
Certainly NO clicks pops or jumps!! As good as it gets in my opinion !!
THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!
GRADED AS NEAR MINT!!
UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 50 YEARS OLD !!!!!
The Labels: MINT
These are super ! Bright and clean NO SPINDLE LINES can be seen on each side, angled in strong light
Confirming this has definitely been played ONCE prior to my test play since 1971 !!!!
