THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MAUVE LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP RED COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE TWO SURFACE HAIRLINES . BUT THESE ARE IN THE RUN OUT TO SIDE ONE
THE TEST PLAY
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THERE IS NOT ONE SECOND OF DISTORTION TO THIS AMAZING SOUND, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SILENCE BETWEEN THE TRACKS WITH JUST A COUPLE HAVING JUST SOME VERY LIGHT BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE FROM BEGINNING TO END
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS, FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN SO THAT YOU CAN GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
