    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. 

    THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. 

    THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

    THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

    THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE


    THE VINYL

    THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. 

    ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. 

    IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD IS FLAWLESS

    WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED HALO I CAN SEE A SINGLE TINY NON SOUNDING SURFACE HAIRLINE ON SIDE TWO

    THE TEST PLAY


    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

    THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

    NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

    ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AT THE START OF EACH SIDE

    THE AUDIO GRADES NEAR MINT 

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
