THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED DECCA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I NOTICED A SMALL AND LIGHT SCRATCH ON TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO. i HAVE PLAVED A LARGE AND POWERFULL LIGHT OVER IT WHICH MAKES IT LOOK FAR MORE SEVERE THAN IT IS. PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE SECOND SOUND BITE TO HEAR IT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON SIDE ONE. CLEAR AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
SIDE TWO TRACK ONE HAS A SOME VERY LIGHT TICS AS THE STYLUS PASSES ACROSS THE LIGHT SCRATCH.
OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY TICS IN A LATER TRACK, THE REST OF SIDE TWO PLAYS SUPERBLY WITHOUT ANY NOISE ANYWHERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS / EX
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
