NEAR MINT SLEEVE
SCARCE ACE OF CLUBS PRESSING
FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS . EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PRISTINE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS - AN AWESOME RECORD IN SUBLIME CONDITION
ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE FINAL TWO TRACKS ON SIDE TWO
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL AUDIO MINT / NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
