Description
NEAR MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
EX++ SLEEVE
BESTWAY PRESSING
AN ABSOLUTLY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PSYCHEDELIC ALBUM FROM THE 60'S LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN BARELY PLAYED
THE RECORDS
THE LABEL
THE BLUE BELL LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS!!! THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD JUST SHOWS A FEW TINY AND NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES
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 THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NOT ONE SECOND OF VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO MORE THAN A FEW TINY RANDOM SPECKS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
A COUPLE OF VERY TINY TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
