THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST 2-3 VERY FINE SMALL HAIRLINES
