THE SUNBURST LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED,
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THERE ARE JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLES
THE VINYL
VERY GLOSSY PAIR OF DISCS
THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THEY BOTH STILL LOOK PRISTINE
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM SET PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION FROM START TO FINISH
NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
